I may not be able to update the blog online, but I'll at least put each days scores online via blackberry! Come here and I'll try to keep you updated...

NSA State Clip...

Two of the best moments of the State tournament were when we finally got the winning run against the Vipers (see the picture of Bailee below) and the first inning of the first Championship game against the Tusc Tide. We batted for 20 Minutes.

In the clip below, I think I missed the first two batters, we start with Alex hitting a line drive and the inning ends with Alex so I think we see everyone who was in the lineup.... Hope you enjoy...



The next clip is of a cheer demonstration that was given to me for all the world to see....
It's great!




Just a few moments from the NSA State Tournament....

Mustangs take 2nd at NSA State

The first year 12U Mustangs took 2nd place to the Tusc Tide after pushing the undefeated Tide to the IF game in the NSA B State Championship. The 2nd Championship game was just too much for the Mustangs after playing 4 other games that day and they fell to the Tide.

Bailee scores the winning run against the Viper's 96

Alex seems to give a curtsy after crossing the plate against the Tusc Tide!

Another great play by Bailee this weekend!

The Mustangs defeated several really good teams along the way. The Vipers 96, the RS Raptors and even the 1st place team, the Tuscaloosa Tide. The girls should be really proud and start getting ready for the USSSA World Series in Maryland!!!

USSSA State ... 2nd place
