Team Nitro Long Island Fastpitch

Congrats to TNLI 02 for their Championship run in the USSSA Andles in the Outfield Tourney this past weekend (July 23 & 24). The team went a combined 7 - 0 in capturing 1st Place in a tournament that featured a very strong field of 16 teams coming from as far as New Rochelle, NY  and Lebbaon NJ.

On Saturday, the team went 3 - 0, scoring a combined 30 runs while only giving up 7. On Sunday, the team won thier first two games in uneventful fashion against the LI Hellcats and the LI Express. In the semi-finals, the team played the King Park Rangers to a 1 - 1 tie, leading to International tiebreaker before pulling out an extremely hard fougher 2 - 1 win that took 11 innings. This set up a championship game versus the LI Rebels. In a close back and forth game, TNLI 02 pulled out a 6 to 5 win to seal the Championship.

What made this championship win even more special, the girls were playing for Rhiannon Scott a teammate of many who is recently left us all to early in her young life.She was an outfielder in the Team Nitro organization and as the name of the tournament symbolizes, she was their Angel in the Outfield this past weekend.
