During tournaments we went to the field at 7am!!! We ended up playing five games that day in 100 degree heat...Morgan pitched every single game and even played through being sick. We wanted to hold off the last game until Sunday morning but Patton knew they couldn't beat us if we were rested so they told us we had to play. We were way too tired and worn out to put up much of a fight and our championship dreams slipped away...we were the hottest team for the day at least:) i love softball...it's my life.
Hastings Strykers 2010 <3 and Hastings Strkyers 2011<3 it's our year
I know this is really late but it was a CCI tournament. This year our team went 17-2, won our first tournament, and took 2nd in the other. It was another wonderful year and i'm glad you liked this picture.

The story of a travel team and a special weekend... by: Coach Dan
Bryanna,
Thank you for sharing a most memorable weekend. Love the picture. We all have been there and gotten on that magical roll. Sorry that the almost dream came up a little short. I am glad you can look back on it with such a positive attitude and use it as a springboard for better things this year. Best of luck to you and the Strykers!!
Teams I have coached have played quite a few tournaments in those unforgiving hot and humid central PA tournaments. I know how the sun can start to melt away the sharpness. Great job and I hope you put it over the top. Just curious, which tournament was it? Sounds like either a PONY or ASA.
