Red Sox Rumble

The Thunder competed in their first scrimmage of the season against the Madison County Red Sox on Monday night.

The competition was spirited, and the game allegedly ended in a tie after six innings. Six different boys got a chance to pitch, and everyone got to see their first 9U live pitching of the season.

There is still much to work on (especially stealing bases and running to first on missed third strikes), but all in all the Thunder represented well, and it was a good experience that the teams may repeat later in the year.

Countdown to the Countdown

Only two weeks remain until the Thunder get the first grass stains of the year on their newly-purchased uniforms in the Rocket City Winter Countdown.

The excitement is building, as the Thunder (and their moms and dads) anxiously await the call of "Play Ball", the first pitch, the smell of the ballpark concession stand, and Coach Scott Wilson's first ejection of the season.

C'mon Thunder, Let's Get Ready to Rummmmmm-ble!!!!

Hot, Fresh, Wow!!

Thanks to many hungry Jackson County residents and sleepy diligent parents, the Thunder successfully completed their first fund-raiser of the year!!

It started with a dream and some help from Krispy Kreme, but several hours and 800 dozen delicious doughnuts later, the Thunder had rolled up approximately $2700. This money will be used to purchase uniforms and pay upcoming tournament registration fees.

Thanks again to everyone!!
