Madison Mystics Spring Magic

Well, the Spring Magic was not with the Mustangs on this tournament. The lack of hitting was a strong contributer to this weekends poor performance. The Mustangs went 1-2 for the weekend.

The upbeat side was once again this group never gave up. Down 7-2 in the last at bat, they scored another 3 and had the winning run at the plate when we finally got that last out that sent us home.

The Mustangs are NEVER a team to give up and they keep fighting even when things aren't going our way. Remember, there will always be bad days, but never quit fighting!!

Go Mustangs!

Spring Rampage


The Mustangs go Undefeated in Cullman, AL.

On the road to the championship, the Mustangs overcame The NA Sharks, The Madison Mystics, The Sidewinders, and finally High Intensity of Niceville, Florida.

There were many bright spots during the day. Back to back homeruns enabled the Mustangs to even get to the final game, our 4 pitchers all pitched GREAT games, great hitting by the whole team and some great plays by the defense, including our catchers who refused to let anyone steal on them today.

Come back here soon to see pictures of the day!

Spain Park's Fastpitch Fanatics cont...

The rain was over on Sunday but it was still a WET field we found when we came to play Gillespie's "No Name 96" team made up of Vipers and Middle School Players.

A hard fought, defensive game went a full 7 innings and still had about 5 or 6 minutes left when the game was over and the "No Names" had won 1-0. Close but there one tripple with no outs left them with 3 chances to get the run in and they accomplished this with the first sacrifice. The Mustangs had girls on 3rd 3 or 4 times and at the end of the game Sam hit another triple with Shelby B ready to knock her in. Shelby's hit a shot to right field and they played it perfectly for the 3rd out.

The girls played great and there were some highlights to the weekend. Ashley D hit an "in the park" homerun that followed Sam's "out of the park" home run that went over 200 ft left centerfield fence! Both homers brought in 3 runs each. Montana pitched a great game starting against Gillespie's team. Taz led the team in hitting. Delaney led the team with the most bruises in one game! :)

It was a fun weekend of ball, and the girls never quit. What a great team!
