OC Bat Busters Tournament Day 1: Game 1 Update
Game 1 was a practice game against the Intensity from New Jersey.
Rachael had several great plays at shortstop and helped the Sidewinders to a 7-1 Victory.
Number 17? I thought you were number 32?
If you look through some of the pictures of Rachael’s fall games you may notice that she is wearing number 17. So what gives?
As it turns out, Rachael is new to the Sidewinders and 32 is not a number that the team has carried very often. So when it came time to hand out temporary uniforms, while the new ones were being ordered, Rachael ended up with a temporary number of 17.
Her permanent uniform (#32) should be in before the next tournament in Huntington Beach in October.
Whether it’s #32 or #17 she’s wearing come on out ans see her play!

In the end the Sidewinders hitting, dominant pitching and stellar defense was just too much for the Ms.Stix. Rachael and the Sidewinders walked away with their first Championship of the fall. Still undefeated the Sidewinders won the Acer’s Fall Finale in convincing fashion.
Final Score: Sidewinders 13, Ms.Stix 0
