2005 Mission Mexicana - Vernon BC


May 20-23, 2005.

The Penetrators had a great time in their first Mexican Skins Tournament. In a tough "Open Division" with 8 very good teams, the team played well all weekend to go undefeated and win the skins format tournament. Brian Brown pitched extreamly well and displayed some Matrix like defense up the middle. The team cruised through the round robin ending up with 13 1/2 skins and entered the playoffs as the 2nd seed. The first playoff game against Whatever from Whistler did not start well as the Penetrators fell behind 3 skins to none. But the team battled back and won the next 3 skins. The seventh inning was a tie so the game went to extra innings. Whatever scored one in the top of the seventh and the Penetrators scored 2 runs in the bottom to take the game. In the semi finals against the Titans from Langley the team again started in the hole 2 skins to none but rallied to win the next 5 in a row. The Penetrators faced BS Free from Surrey in the finals. The game was tied 2-2 in skins after 4 innings but the Penetrators shut down BS Free for the rest of the game and won the next 3 skins to end up winning 5-2. The final skin was won with a game ending grand slam by Craig Denton. In the final game skins were worth $150 each.Tanya Hall hit numerous balls at or off the fence in the 300 ft. diamond to lead the girls in hitting. Also on the weekend, Tanya won the tournament female HR contest and Brian came a close second in the mens HR contest. For winning the tournament, the team won $962.50, a set of Corona sweatshirts and a team cooler.
