THUNDER 7U EXPERIENCE 8U IN AZ!
March 25, 2012
CONGRATS TO OUR 7U TEAM FOR TAKING ANOTHER STEP UP INTO THEIR TRAVELBALL JOURNEY. THEY PLAYED UP IN AGE AND HANDLED THEMSELVES VERY WELL. GREAT WORK!A MESSAGE FROM COACH STULL!The 7U Thunder makes its first appearance in an 8U USSSA NIT in Peoria, Arizona.
First off I would like to thank all of the family and friends that took time away from work and for the parents allowing the boys to miss school. It's never an easy task to load up and drive 5 hours to play baseball, but it was sure worth it.
What we witnessed from these little guys this weekend was amazing. We knew going into the tournament that we would have our hands full and we sure did. We were pooled with some of the best 8U teams in the country. We struggled a bit against the Tomateros and Easton Elite, tied the El Paso BlueSox, and came up one run short against the So Cal Sun Devils. In my opinion, the Sun Devils was the best game that our team has ever played since we have been together. I am positive that this was an absolute pivotal point in our success. This game made our boys believe in themselves and it proved to them that we are capable of being successful at that level. This was a perfect way to leave Arizona and I can assure you that we will contend next year.
As I told our boys before we left we are "going for memories not medals" and we got both (thanks to the generosity of the Allred's grandparents who had medals made for the team). We were able to see the Angels beat the Indians at Goodyear Park in great seats and the boys got some autographs, which they all enjoyed doing.
Overall, this was an amazing experience and one that I encourage all of our teams to try. I assure you we got better and I promise it builds cohesiveness not only for the players, but also for the families. Thanks to everyone for their extra efforts and to the boys for the COURAGE that you showed of being the ONLY 7U team there.
THUNDER 9U RUNNERS UP!
March 25, 2012
CONGRATS TO OUR 9U TEAM FOR TAKING 2ND PLACE IN ARIZONA FOR THE USSSA SPRING CHAMPIONSHIPS TOURNAMENT. THEY WERE SHORT 3 PLAYERS AND STILL MANAGED TO OBTAIN SOME HARDWARE. GREAT WORK!A MESSAGE FROM COACH BAEZ!The 9U Thunder traveled to Peoria, AZ to participate in the USSSA NIT last weekend. The 9U family took full advantage of all that Spring Training that AZ had to offer. Some arrived in AZ early to get a head start on going to the Dodgers game at beautiful Camelback Ranch and were lucky enough to get Clayton Kershaw's and Manager Don Mattingly's autograph. The entire team went to the Dodgers game on Friday at Surprise Stadium, where the team tailgated in the parking lot. The kids tossed the football, played wiffle ball and dodge ball. The adults handled the cooking duties and had plenty of refreshments. The team went in early and got several other Dodger autographs, including James Loney. While the game was going on, the Texas Rangers began their workouts on the other side of the fence. Coach Nate met with his friend from high school and current MLB superstar for the Texas Rangers, Michael Young. Michael Young made arrangements with security to allow the entire Thunder team and families into the restricted area. Mikey took photos, signed autographs and spoke with the kids. He was very patient, easy going, and was more than happy to spend time with our Thunder family. It was definitely an experience the kids will remember for the rest of their lives!!
On the field, the boys played awesome. We went out there without our #1 catcher and our biggest power hitter/1st baseman. We picked up an 8 year old player (Drew Merrill) and another from Pony ball (Dominic Perez) to complete the roster. The team went 4-2 and lost in the Championship game. The team was hitting all weekend and had many offensive leaders. Zack Ghiuzelian (.500), Dominic Perez (.500), Mayson Baez (.454), Micah Hidalgo (.428), Trent Merrill (.428) and Ty Patrick (.400). Eligh Hidalgo had 11 walks with 10 stolen bases and 9 runs scored in 6 games and Nolan Palmer had 7 stolen bases! Daniel Barrera and Ty Patrick were magnificent on the mound in leading us to our victories. The results of the final game were not impressive but we are young at this travel ball thing and we continue to improve. This was our 2nd championship game in our last 2 tournaments, so things are looking up!!
This trip definitely put the "travel" in travel ball and proved to be an experience we will never forget!! 9U Thunder Nation rocks on!!
Oh yeah and then there was this, boys victory cry. "Hooters on 3!" SEE LINK BELOW PICTURE
