Optic Fellow Fever Heartbreaker

Madison Mayhem has been on a tear over the month of May. Placing in every tournament they played in and coming off a great performance to win the May Maddness tournament the week before. They have moved up in the USGF Tennessee state rankings and are currently 3rd and positioning themselves to overtake the number 1 team Lady Jaxx.

The time and place for this was set at the Optic Yellow Fever tournament being conducted at the Jackson Sportsplex. Madison Mayhem entered the tournament as the number two seed with the Lady Jaxx seeded #1. The were set for a collision course with each team winning their first four games. Morgan Fielding took the mount against the Jaxx in the championship of the winner bracket and it was not her best outing. After pitching two scoreless innings Mayhem's defense and pitching broke down. They allowed four unearned runs and went  on to loss to the Jaxx score of 6-2.

They rebooted and had a stunning comeback against the Panther 99 team. Trailing by a score of 5-2, Mayhem was down to their last three outs. Playing solid small ball they positioned themselves for another great comeback. With the winning run on second base Morgan came to the plate with 2 outs. She delivered once again and drove a double down the third base line to score the winning run and to set up a rematch with the Lady Jaxx for the Championship.

The championship game Mayhem battled but their strength was not with them. This being their 4th game of the day they just did not have the comeback strength to do it again. They fell to the Lady Jaxx once again by a score of 5-3.
