Coach Bastian wanted this tournament to be about professional development for Alicia. He wanted her to learn from this experience and it was not about being seen by the college coaches this year. He has already invited her back to play on next year's team.
Alicia's main purpose in this tournament was to help move players over to the next base and to help get them in to home plate. She was able to do this by making many sacrifice plays, performing takes and fake plays. She was even coached on how to take a hit if needed. Alicia was able to distract the catcher with these plays so that a throw to second base would not get there in time to tag the TFS player out.
Alicia ended up with a hit against a pitcher that had verbally committed to UCLA. She had two walks and 8 sacrifice plays (all out of 12 at bats). Alicia had never experienced playing against top teams like these in the U.S.
