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!!

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??

I have set up FineTune to run on our blog and I can select almost any music. What I'm asking from you guys is what Softball Music should be part of the tune list?
Leave comments on this post telling me what to set up. If they have it at FineTune I'll put it on the list.
Go Mustangs!!

You Make the Call...
The manager comes out to talk with the pitcher and is charged for a conference. Later in the same inning, the manager requests time and before crossing the foul line informs the umpire that he is changing pitchers.
Is the pitcher eligible to pitch later in the game?
(NSA Rules)
Well, noone is commenting on this... so here's the answer:
Ruling: This is NOT a charged conference. The pitcher may return to pitch later in
the game.

Why The New Name???
Here is Coach Rin's Explanation...
Well to be perfectly honest it was brought to my attention that the term “crusader” had a meaning which was not representative of our organizational goals and lent to a characterization which is not what we wanted to be associated with, thus the name change to Birmingham Mustangs! So instead of joining our “Crusade” we ask you to “Saddle it Up” or be prepared to get kicked if you get in our way! GO MUSTANGS!!!!!
