posted 06/16/2009 This past weekend, the 11u Hopewell Storm capped off an incredible tournament weekend by winning the 11u Sub-State Tournament. Finishing up pool play as the 2nd seed, the Storm made their presence felt in the tournament bracket scoring 45 runs and only committing 1 fielding error in the three games. The Storm beat the Sharon Springs White All-Stars 15-4 in game 1, beat Sawnee Mtn Storm 15-8 in game 2 and in the championship game, beat the North Forsyth All Star team 15-0 in a game that was called by "mercy rule" as the Storm unleashed a flurry of error free defense, relentless hitting and a 32 pitch, 1-hit complete game thrown by Matthew Hughes.
Ryan Weed,catcher, continues his skill for throwing runners out on the base paths with two occurrences this weekend which has shut other teams down from trying to steal bases after they have seen him in action. The team released an on-slaught of hitting this weekend by scoring twice as many runs as any other team in either sub-state tournament scoring 63 runs in 5 games! Every player has contributed in some fantastic ways and they are playing great TEAM baseball. The Storm will next play in two weeks for the state championship, location TBD.

posted 06/08/2009 9u Outlaws Finish First at Sharon Springs Shootout - Silver Division
The Outlaws went 1-1 in pool play and then came together as a strong team on Sunday to win 3 straight games and the Silver Division title at the Sharon Springs Shootout. While they played well all weekend, it was the team coming together on Sunday that made the difference.
The bats came alive as the Outlaws scored 13 and only surrendering 6 to Sharon Springs Silver in the Quarterfinal. They stayed hot as the Outlaws beat Braselton Blaze 15-2 in the Semi-Final. The real test came in the Final against the Georgia Storm where the Outlaws won 6-3 behind great pitching and timely hitting.
The defense played well all day making the plays they needed to make at all positions around the field. The big factor was the pitching, where four of our boys combined to walk only 9 batters in the 3 games on Sunday.
This was truly a team effort. Great job Outlaws! They are off to USSSA Sub State next weekend.
