The Quicksilver Softball Club had four teams competing in Amateur Softball Association action at the VIP Series Great Bend Tournament on Saturday at the Great Bend Sports Complex.
Quicksilver was represented in the 10-and-under, 12-and-under, 14-and-under and 16-and-under divisions with the tournament also hosting an eight-and-under division.
The 16-and-under Quicksilver swept the three-game pool play to be the No. 1 seed in the semifinal bracket and won a tournament title.
They won 10-0 against the Kansas Heat (Hoisington) to advance to the championship game.
“They played great,” 16-and-under head coach Randy Moyers said. “We couldn’t have asked them to play any better. They won the semifinal game 10-0 and the championship game 8-0. Both pitchers threw shutouts. They were tremendous.”
The 14-and-under Quicksilver finished 2-1 in pool play. They lost 5-1 in a semifinal game against the Larned Renegades, the same team that beat them 7-5 in pool play.
“We just can’t hit Larned, and I don’t know why,” 14-and-under Quicksilver head coach Tom Curtis said. “We came out in the 9 a.m. game, the girls were kind of sluggish, but we won the next two games.
“When you score only one run like we did in the semifinal game, you aren’t going to win many games at this level.”
The 12-and-under Quicksilver went 0-3 in pool play, but beat the Clay Center Bs 4-1 to advance to a semifinal game against the MudKatz.
The 10-and-under Quicksilver finished 0-2-1 in pool play. They lost 10-0 in a quarterfinal game against the Clay Center Bs.
The Liberal Laces won the eight-and-under division.
