On May 27 and 28, Hanover Thunder Red participated in the Memorial Day Shootout held at RF&P Park in Glen Allen Virginia.  Thunder Red, entered the tournament in the 14U division, playing up for the first time.

On Saturday, May 27, Thunder was the winner of two games, defeating the Wildkatz and the Glen Allen Blitz by scores of 10-5 and 10-3 respectively.  However, the third game of the day was played against the Virginia Flames and Thunder was defeated by a score of 7-0.

Sunday, Thunder played a close game against the Williamsburg Starz and came out on top by a score of 5-3.  With this win Thunder went on to compete in the Gold Division playoff game, once again coming head to head with the Virginia Flames.  Unfortunately, Thunder was unable to pull it together and lost by a score of 10-0.  They were presented with the runner-up trophy in the 14U division.

Although Thunder Red was outscored by their opponents 28 to 25 they played a good tournament, gaining experience and earning a pat on the back for their hard work and dedication.

Congratulations to all of the girls who played this weekend and a special thanks to the Tornado girls that came and helped us out.
