Smoke Fastpitch 14U-Castro takes 2nd Place in Fab 5

After a very hot first weekend of fall travel ball, Smoke Fastpitch 14A team lost to Norcal Blitz in an international tie breaker 9-8 to take 2nd place in the Gold Bracket. We fell short, but our girls battled hard all weekend! Couldn’t be more proud of our Lil Smokies and the effort and team work these girls showed all weekend long. It was a great learning experience and this tournament only makes them better softball players.
