The Diamonds slammed their next opponents, the Alley

Cats, 6-0. Jesssica DeMooney hit a homerun, Sarah Scott had 2

RBIs and Jessica Bottoms hit a triple. The Diamonds also got

contributions from Candace Moore, Megan Mulcahy,

Chrissy Lundsford and Ashley Embrey, all of whom had base hits in

the win. Embrey was also the winning pitcher giving up only

one hit and striking out six batters.

In their third game, Heather Kershaw pitched and put up

the same stats as Embrey who pitched in the game before her. The

Diamonds faced the Milford Raiders and beat them 4-0. They

tore around the base paths during the game with Candace Moore

and Jessica Bottoms each recording a steal. Bottoms also hit a

controversial homerun in the fourth inning. Sarah Scott hit two RBIs

for the second game in a row and Jessica Demooney chipped in

with two singles. The win advanced the Diamonds into the

championship game where they would face the Milford Raiders one

more time.

Ashley Embrey took the mound for the Diamonds and pitched

a four hitter. The Diamonds won by a score of 5-0, due mostly

to some excellent hitting and base running. Jessica DeMooney

and Lindsay Faircloth hit back to back doubles in the first.

Faircloth would hit another double and would score after sacrifices

from Candace Moore and Sarah Scott. Moore and Scott both reached

the bases in the fifth inning and were brought home by a base hit

from Abby Stone.

The win qualified the Southside Diamonds for the ISA World

Series this summer, giving each girl the opportunity to say "After

winning this game, I'm going to Disney World !"
