Time to rest and get ready for another day!
Day 3 July 25, 2025
One game played today against longtime rivals in San Diego County Peninsula Breakers 10u Gold. And with that winning attitude Imperial Beach took the win 5-3 in a nail-biting end to the game. With this win Imperial Beach was able to rest for the day and wait for an opponent for the next game day.
Day 4 July 26, 2025
On game one of the day Imperial Beach once again faces AV Ravens 10u and without luck fell short against them once more. This time with a 10-1 loss it was a heartfelt game and visibly something didn’t seem to be going well.
Now going to the second game of the day still with the weight of the previous loss, Imperial Beach girls were not able to shake it off this time and unfortunately fell short once more against Hart Attack 10u Gold with a score of 6-1.
Today Imperial Beach bats were just not there and in a twist with these two games ended their participation in the 2025 Nationals Tournament.
Regardless of this outcome these girls played their hearts out. Winning 4 of the seven games they played in four days.
Imperial Beach 10u Gold girls had an amazing All-Stars season, and all the girls became a family. So regardless of the outcome and how many games in total were won, what matters is the respect they built with each other and the way they poured their hearts out through every game.
So, I will take this time and space to congratulate these 11 girls, that ultimately have all my respect. And let’s not forget the parents that give it their all, they put their life on hold for these girls and to help them follow their dreams. So, I applaud all of them and thank them very much for letting me be part of their girls’ lifes.
