Recap

Blue Ends Season on a High Note!
The Thunder Blue team struggled early but pulled together for an impressive win
over an outstanding Yorktown Revolution team in the rain-shortened Portsmouth tournament.
In the first game against the Virginia Aces, the Thunder couldn't recover from a
sloppy 1st inning and fell 12-4. In the second game of pool-play, the
Thunder played better, but still fell 4-2 to the Virginia Classic.
In the final game of the day, and of the season due to rain
Sunday, the Thunder showed their true-colors with a near flawless effort against
the Yorktown Revolution. Sarah B pitched an outstanding 5 innings giving
up only 1 hit (no runs). Madison C, Lacie M, and Taylor D combined to hit
7 for 9 to lift the team to the 5-0 win.
On Sunday against the Blue Angels, after getting 3 runners on
base in the top of the 1st, the rain and thunder (not Hanover) caused the game
and tournament to be cancelled. After the "low" Saturday
morning, the Thunder girls showed their potential to put together one of their
best games of the year against the Revolution. As always, the support of
the families and friends was (and is) very much appreciated...time to get a
little rest (away from softball) and re-energize for what will be an exciting
2007 campaign!

Summaries and Tournament Stats
Quick
Quips:
 | Saturday night the team stayed at the Springhill Suites, this was the
first true "travel" tournament for the team... |
| While waiting for the season finale game on Saturday, a friendly wager
between the coaches and players was made...win and the coaches get thrown
into the hotel pool (with clothes on), lose and the girls could not go
swimming at the indoor pool...the coaches were happy to take the plunge!! |
| Thanks to Thunder Red's Ashlee N for her support over the weekend! |
| A very accommodating Red Robin restaurant hosted the Thunder clan (about
30+ people) for the Saturday evening meal... |
