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!

Spain Park
After a slow start losing both our pool play games, the Mustang's bats came alive. 2 home runs later, one over left center with 2 on base, and one "in the park" to left center scoring 3 runs and we were ahead by 5. But The Bama Babes were not done yet... they scored 6 and went ahead by 1. But the Mustangs came right back putting 3 more runs on the board then shut them down. The Birmingham Mustangs won by two 10-8 and advance to the Semi-Finals.
The girls were just hitting the field when lightning and rain ran us from the park. We continue the tournament tomorrow, playing the "No Name" team coach by Jeff Gellespie.
Go Mustangs!!

A Basketball Championship...
Many times we've shown how our girls are champions at more than softball! This time one of our girls was on the Mountain Brook Basketball team that won the state ARPA tournament on March 12th-16th. The Birmingham News recognized Caroline B as the leading scorer for her team and the leading overall tournament scorer.
Neely F, from our 2007 team, was also on the team and was quoted as being one of the teams "Play makers".
Congratulation Caroline for your outstanding performance in this tournament! Caroline plays Catcher for the Mustangs and spends some time in Left Field.

Hueytown Purple and Gold Classic
It was a nasty, wet and snowy weekend in Hueytown. That's right, I said snowy! After 5 years of running this tournament, I had my first "Snow Out"! Friday we played 2 games winning the first on big and losing a close one to the Red Storm 96 in the rain. Saturday we woke up to this...
Yes, that's snow for those of you who have never been up North.
After 3 months of planning I watched the tournament go down with the falling snow. Rin and I stayed on the phone all morning (starting at 5:30 am) getting the schedule worked out to salvage something and in the end were able to get half the teams to come back on Sunday.
The weather on Sunday was a 180 degree turnaround from Saturday. Temps in the 70's and sunny! I went home with a sunburn on Sunday!
The Results were as follows:
8U - 1st Place Springville Shock, 2nd Place Red Storm
10U - 1st Place BL Lady Bombers, 2nd Place Birmingham Mustangs
12U - 1st Place Birmingham Bandits, 2nd Place Birmingham Mustangs
Sorry no pics, but I spent the day in Hueytown while the team was in Gardendale. Argi furnished me with a championship picture....

Kickoff Classic - Clanton
Tournament Summary
WOW, what a way to start off the season. This winters hard work and dedication paid off nicely
Saturday. We went undefeated in 4 games and along the way outscored our opponents 31-6. The day was filled with some wonderful moments: In the 1stst at bat, Sam had a blast shot of about 200 feet dead center field for a HOMERUN; Grace in her 1st game of the season pitched a 1 hitter; game at her 1 In Shelby’s 1st game pitched she threw a 2 hitter; In the Championship Game Grace pitched a “No Hitter” and was one walk away from a perfect game. The girls behind the pitchers played almost perfect defense and the team showed great poise at the plate. What made this day special was not the combination of pitching, defense and hitting but rather the seeing a “team” playing softball together as one. Way to go girls we are so proud of you!
