Thunder team takes 2nd in Halloween Tourney

Nearing the end of the fall ball tourney season the Thunder team headed to Modesto for a Halloween-themed tourney. Day one (Sat, Oct 25th) was not a great showing for the Thunder. The team dropped all three games to the opposing teams. Sunday, however, was an exciting day of softball.

Honestly I wasn't sure I'd make it to see the first game so I desparately hoped they would win it just in case I was late arriving. Early in the day my Dad and I drove up to Rocklin to see the first game of the day for the Rockstarz and it was a nailbiter and exciting and they won....but it did go a little longer than expected. So, we jumped in the car and took off for Modesto, arriving nearly an hour into the expected game one.

Turned out there were earlier delays that pushed their game start back and when we arrived the game hadn't even begun. We were treated to an exciting win - Kali smashed a triple in that game. And that followed with a win in game two to put the Thunder into the division championship game for the tourney. The girls played their hearts out and took second place, losing to the Hollister Heat. At least Grandpa had a caravan to follow back home most of the way from Modesto!
