VI Women make light work of Jamaica in regional softball tournament
The [British] Virgin Islands started their campaign in the Eastern Caribbean Amateur Softball Confederation’s Women’s Fast-Pitch Tournament Qualifier with a convincing victory on Wednesday, March 1, 2023.
The VI National Team routed Jamaica 20-5 in three innings in the tournament’s opening game at the National Park Ball Field in Cruz Bay, on St John, US Virgin Islands (USVI).
The VI turned a one-run lead after 2½ innings into a runaway in winning the rule-shortened game over Jamaica.
Jamaica had closed to within 6-5 after scoring twice in the top of the third inning, only to see the [British] Virgin Islands (1-0) erupt for 14 runs in the bottom half of the inning.
Sheniqua Fahie got the win, allowing just one runner on base (by a walk) before ending the top of the third with a strikeout. She had relieved starter Thea Cooke, who allowed five runs off three hits and seven walks over 2 2/3 innings, with three strikeouts.
Captain Darier Malone aka 'Dee' hit a grand slam in the bottom of the 2nd inning, clearing the bases to give the VI a 4-run lead. She was later named Player of the Game.
VI in action today
The [British] Virgin Islands play St Maarten at 1:00 PM today, March 2, 2023.
Meanwhile, the USVI National Team shut out St Maarten 9-0 in five innings in the six-team tournament.
The tournament champion automatically qualifies for the upcoming Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games, scheduled for June 23-July 8 in San Salvador, El Salvador.
