Posted by Clint Johnson on Sep 22 2012 at 05:00PM PDT

What an amazing start to the 2013 season. With a new team on board this group started off Saturday with 2 tough losses, only to come back and have to play at 8:00 on Sunday.

The Thunder win the opener 6-1 with Ahmad pitching a great game and Tyler Williams coming into close the game. Highlighted by great defense and timely hitting.

Game 2 the Thunder went on a hitting rampage and beat Dynasty 18-5, avenging the loss from Saturday. Conor Sullivan pitched another great game. Everyone had at least 1 hit and a run scored. Caleb Martin and Ridge Rainwater had timely hits to keep the train rolling.

Game 3 the challenge was to beat MLAB Lightning who we lost to on Saturday 4-3. It was a hard fought game, but with another great pitching game from Tyler Williams, our outstanding catches from our outfielders and timely hitting from Lance Albritton we came away with a 5-3 win. Cudos go to our outfielders for 5 great catches to save the game from Tyler Moore, Zach Fletcher and John Henze. Austin Swonke made 2 great defensive stops at 3rd and Jake Sanchez at 2nd making 2 more. Conner Ames caught a great game and made some gaving saving blocks.

Game 4 the Thunder were tied for 3 innings 1-1. Key injuries caught up with us and the Thunder came up a little short and lost 8-1. To make it this far in your first tournament when being counted out by numerous people says alot about the heart, competitiveness and toughness of this team. The coaches and parents are very proud of you. All the hard work paid off. Congratulations Thunder!

Coach Clint and Mrs. Gina
