Our Thunder 14U softball team is off to a great start......now that we have gotten the early obstacles behind us and we are ready for the summer heat, the dirt and having fun on the softball diamond!

We are excited about the potential of this GREAT group of girls and their AWESOME families! This young team will be doing some damage in the weeks and months to come!

So far our dynamic duo of Roberts sisters have already made their marks. Kali has hit two HRs already this season, include a 3-run homer in our tournament in Reno this past weekend. Melia takes the mound every three games and has logged 4 wins so far. Two great showings this weekend included a 8-5 win in our first game on Sat and a 10-4 win in our first game on Sunday. Her performance even earned her a mention in her pitching coach's weekly highlights email:

Ron Engle has posted a new announcement on the Ron Engle "K" Club page.
