⚡🥎FALL BASH CHAMPIONSHIPS RECAP🥎⚡

Another strong weekend of competition and growth for Howard County Thunder 11U!

We traveled to South Bend, Indiana, September 25–27 for the Fall Bash Championships, competing in the 11U Open Division against a talented 12-team field.

The girls finished the weekend 3-2 overall, going 2-1 in pool play before going 1-1 in bracket play and finishing 4th out of 12 teams!

Our tournament run came to an end in a battle against a solid Eagles Select 11U-Fitzsimons team. The girls competed until the final out, coming up just short in a 5-4 game.

🔥 TEAM OFFENSIVE NUMBERS
🥎 .357 Batting Average
⚡ .534 On-Base Percentage
💥 30 Hits
🏃‍♀️ 42 Runs Scored
💪 39 RBIs

One of the things we were most proud of was our approach at the plate.

👀26 WALKS + 6 HIT-BY-PITCHES

Our hitters showed patience, discipline, and an understanding that helping the team doesn’t always mean getting a hit. We found ways to get on base, extend innings, put pressure on defenses, and give the hitters behind us opportunities to drive in runs.

A .534 team OBP means we were getting on base more than half the time — and that’s a great recipe for putting pressure on opposing teams.

But as always, the weekend was about more than wins, losses, and statistics.

We continue to put this group in Open tournaments because we want them challenged. We want them playing teams that expose the areas we need to improve. We want them learning how to compete when games are tight, every pitch matters, and nothing comes easy.

Comfort doesn’t create growth. Challenges do.

Every tough at-bat.
Every pressure situation.
Every mistake.
Every adjustment.
Every close game.

They’re all opportunities to get better.

We walked away from South Bend 3-2, 4th out of 12 teams, and better than when we arrived.

There is still plenty of work ahead of us — and that’s exactly how we want it.

⚡ 3-2 Weekend Record
⚡ 2-1 Pool Play
⚡ 1-1 Bracket Play
🏅 4th of 12 Teams
🔥 11U Open Division

Keep competing. Keep learning. Keep growing.

⚡🥎FALL BASH CHAMPIONSHIPS — HERE WE COME!🥎⚡

Howard County Thunder 11U is headed to South Bend this weekend for the Bash Tournaments Fall Bash Championships!💙🖤

This group has continued to grow every time they step on the field, and this weekend gives them another opportunity to compete against quality teams, challenge themselves, and keep building together.

We’ll get things started Friday night under the lights, followed by two more pool-play games Saturday before turning our attention to bracket play Sunday morning.🔥

At this point in the season, it’s about more than wins and losses. It’s about trusting the work, competing through adversity, picking up the teammate beside you, and getting a little better every time you take the field.

Same team. Same GRIT. Bigger stage.

Come out, follow along, and cheer on these girls as they represent Howard County Thunder!⚡🌩️

💙PLAY WITH HEART. LEAVE A LEGACY.🖤
