Awesome showing for all the Cali teams. Everybody represented themselves well. Firecrackers are playing at a different level right now, they are going to be very difficult to beat. Good luck to Gamers, Mizuno on their quest for glory.
Nice job gentleman on stating the facts about ASA. I 100% agree it may be time for Cali teams to remain in the west coast. No need to travel to the midwest when there is so much more to do here in California and the west coast. It looks like Cali teams will be playing for the top 8 spots, no different than doing it here or there.

Looks like Firecrackers are on the way to a National Championship! Congrats to them and everyone else that played so hard these past few days. I want to tip my hat to the GAMERS because they played just like the name on their jerseys. 5 games in a day is a lot in SoCal weather, but to put that work in during 95+ degree heat is ______

Congrats to Coach Mark and his Firecrackers girls. Your 2012 ASA/USA 10u National Champions. The girls went undefeated and were playing lights out all week. During their championship run they knocked a lot of great teams into the loser's bracket. Team Mizuno and Gamers Academy. And 3 very good teams from out of state. Texas Bombers (TX), Birmingham Thunderbolts (AL), and Easton Elite Heat (GA) Much deserved. Congrats!
Congrats also to your 2012 ASA/USA 10u Nationals runner- up. Gamers Academy. They had a tough road to make it an all So Cal National Championship and they did. During their run they eliminated 3 very good So Cal teams. Team Mizuno, So Cal Athletics, and Case Batbusters. And 4 very good out of state teams. Gold Coast Hurricanes (FL), Texas Shock (TX), Louisiana Rippers (LA), Easton Elite Heat (GA). Great job Gamers Academy.
I would also like to Congratulate all the out of state teams that really were impressive out there. And it shows that great teams come from all over, not just So Cal.
Louisiana Rippers- One of the best one-two pitching combinations in the country. They have a lot of big hitters and overall a great team. Not to mention the class act coaches and parents. Great job Rippers.
Indiana Gators- Another great one-two pitching combination. And these girls can hit the ball really hard. Don't let their size fool you. They have the hearts of a giant. They showed the rest of the country that great 10u teams don't just come from the West, South, and Southeast, but also the Midwest. Great job Gators girls and Coach Nick.
Birmingham Thunderbolts- One of the best defensive teams I have seen. Not to mention their bats. Wow. They can put up runs in a hurry. And their pitching is top notch. They also are a classy group of Coaches and parents. Great job Thunderbolts.
Easton Elite Heat- A very good hitting team. They have a pitcher who can dominate a game and a great defense behind her. They had a great tournament run. But ran into two great So Cal teams today. Great run Heat on your 3rd place finish. That is a great team.
Texas Shock, Stingers Gold, Elite Easton- 3 great teams from Texas. They all played good ball this week and really gave our So Cal teams all they could handle. I don't know which is the best. But they are all very, very good.
It was one great week of softball. The support all these California teams showed for each other was unforgettable
What will you remember most about this week?

Congrats to FC01 on a flawless week of ball. We as the Rippers had a great time here in Bloomington. We couldn't be more proud of our girls for the way they played this week. Congrats also to the Gamers on an amazing day of softball. Really enjoyed playing y'all. Wish we could play every week. Hopefully we can raise enough money to get out to SoCal to play y'all and everyone else out there. Everyone have safe travel home!

Don't forget the 01 Texas Bombers. We finished higher than all the other Texas teams except Shock. We also gave the Firecrackers possibly their toughest game. It was only 1-0 going into the 5th and that run was the result of an error. A predetermined pitching change at that time proved to be a bad move and the game ended up 4-0.
That starting pitcher is my daughter and she and I and her Mother were glad she got to prove herself against one the top California teams. It makes us even more proud now that the Firecrackers are national champs! Congrats and thanks for the memories! I'm sure we'll meet again. Until then........
