They say that history repeats itself; it’s also true that history is made. Last weekend both happened when the Boundary Women’s Softball league held their wind-up tournament. The Liquor Store Chicks (LSC) from Grand Forks were undefeated in the tournament— that’s the history repeating itself part. History was made because Beaverdell finished in the money. “Yea! We got money for the first time ever!” yelled Beaverdell MVP Rosanna Zitko when they picked up their third place trophy. The action started on Friday evening with a round robin component that saw each of the four teams in the league play the other three. On Saturday afternoon the double knockout brackets started with two games that day and the final four on Sunday. Beaverdell had lost all three of their round robin games. That meant they had to go up against the undefeated LSC in their first double-knockout game on Saturday afternoon. When they went to bed that night they had lost four out of four and were facing elimination in a 9:30 a.m. game against Greenwood. Greenwood had lost to Rock Creek in a double knock-out game on Saturday evening, so that meant the losing team would be cut.
The match between Beaverdell and Greenwood turned out to be the closest game of the weekend with Beaverdell taking the win 6-5—a real crowd pleaser. Rock Creek and LSC, both undefeated, met Sunday morning. Rock Creek lost that game 133, then bested Beaverdell in the 12:30 p.m. game by a score of 14-6. Beaverdell had a great run on Sunday. They’d held on to take third place and did it in style—winning the Most Sportsman-like Team trophy as well. The final game of the tournament had the Rock Creek team coming up A high throw to first base allowed this Rock Creek player to get on base, something against the LSC again. It that was tough to do against the Grand Forks Liquor Store Chicks team. It was started at 2:30 p.m. and even tougher to score against them, as the LSC were undefeated in the tournament was the third game in a played in Midway last weekend. See photos page 16.
