Thunder Takes 2nd in First Spring Tourney

In our first outing of the spring season the Thunder had a great showing at the iFA Easter Explosion on April 3, 2010. We had a couple of fairly easy wins against Napa Valley Express in games one and three. Game two we dropped to Mizuno All-American comprised of many girls we've played with in the EG rec league. Game four was a thrilling win against the Line Drive out of Reno, a late add to the tournament and a hard hitting, fast running team. Melia pitched the complete game which she won in an international tie breaker 6th inning. The final score was 9-6 and Melia struck out five batters. The championship game was a tough loss to Mizuno - we ran out of steam! But all in all the outcome was thrilling - we went home with hardware! Melia had an awesome weekend going 10-14 at the plate with 3 triples, 2 doubles and five singles!
