What a DAY for SPORTS!!

Saturday was a beautiful day for Sports in the great state of Alabama!!

Starting the day off, the Mustangs 12U took the field for the first time and had a GREAT day! Against the Cobras, we jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first inning and finished the game with a 5-3 win!

The Titans was a different game and took the lead, but in the last "at bat" the Mustangs started to swing and we scored 5 runs to win 8-4.

Congratulations to the 12U Mustangs!

Also in sports News, Alabama makes it to #16 after beating the Hogs 41-38. Auburn stumbles again to Mississippi State who lost their starting QB in the first Quarter (good thing, no telling how bad the game would have been) and Tennessee got CHOMPED by the Gators in the Swamp (oops, sorry Rin).

Here's some Pics from Saturday's Game:

1st Tournament

The 12U Birmingham Mustangs will play in their first tournament of the Fall Season on Saturday, September 15. This will be a small Round Robin Tournament but will be a chance for the Mustangs to see what they've got in a real game environment.

The Mustangs won 4 tournaments, took 2nd in 3 tournaments, and took 5th in the ASA "B"Nationals as a 10U Bolts team. Cheer us on as we make the jump to 12U ball!!

GO MUSTANGS!!

Mustangs Do Well in First Scrimmage

The 12U Birmingham Mustangs held their first scrimmage game against the Phantoms 12U team. This is a team of mostly 95 girls against our 96 & 97 girls.

It was a great learning time. Shelby Brown got a lot of pitching time along with Grace.... and all of our girls got to face 12U pitching for the first time.

The results were pretty good. With the exception of one hit to deep center by Taylor for the Phantoms, we controlled the Phantoms offense pretty well.

For the Mustangs offense, well, we need more work. But we got a few hits and ran the bases pretty well, scoring enough points to do the job...

All in all, the scrimmage game was a success!

Thanks to the Phantoms 12U team for coming out to Gardendale!

Changes...

Total Softball has gone through some upgrades... The walls are painted, one wall is missing, the brush on the outside has been hacked down and hauled off.

Coming up this weekend is the cables, the batting cages, and hopefully soon, the carpet.

We will have a great place to practice.

Speaking of practice, is everyone ready for the Practice Game against the Phantoms on Thursday at 5:30??
