Athletics '06 Strike Gold Again in Livonia
The LaSalle Athletics '06 Gold continued their solid start this year with their 4th gold medal in 4  tournaments played so far this season. The girls came out focused and ready to play Saturday game 1 with a 12 -0 mercy over the Livonia Wild black. 

The second game they faced a very good Trenton Blast 05 team. In a back and forth battle, the Athletics came away with a hard fought 8 - 5 win. After pool play, the A's were in first place in their pool.
Single Elimination Sunday started off with some great defense and solid hitting in a 10-0 mercy over the Livonia Wild White.
The semi final was against a very strong Michigan Rage 12u team. The Rage came out hitting with 3 runs in the top off the first. The A's answered right back with 2 of their own in the first. Starting in the second inning, the girls shut the door and took over the game on defense by not allowing the Rage to score again the rest of the game.  The offense was dialed in all game scoring 11 more runs by using aggressive base running and steady hitting to lead the way to a 13 - 3 mercy.
The Championship game was against the Trenton Blast 05 team the girls played against the previous day. The A's came out focused and ready to battle in the finals. The A's tough defense and steady hitting proved to be too much for the Blast as the girls came away with the gold medal and a 10 -4 victory.
Great Job Girls.
