The 10U “Bold” or “Glue” depending on your preference was a combined effort by our two 10U teams (Gold and Blue).  Due to a snafu from the tournament, both teams shared the slot with Shockwave Blue taking care of business winning the first two games on Saturday, Gold finished off an undefeated Saturday with a victory over LG Magic then went 2-0 Sunday to win the Championship.

Hit-a-thon Carnival

Hit-a-thon

Hit-a-thon

 

Hit-a-thon is the one and only ‘FUN’-d raiser that SGSL has.  SGSL girls compete against each other based on their age group for the longest hitter, longest thrower, fastest runner, most accurate thrower etc.  It is a day filled with lots of fun.  Ortega park transforms with bounce houses, BBQ, face painting and lots of other carnival type games.  The winner of each category wins medals during closing day.

Don’t miss out the fun and in the process make sure you talk to friends and family about the event and fund raiser.  All donations are tax deductible.  Make sure to check if the company you work for match your donations.  Thank you for making this event a success.  These funds are used by SGSL to run all the clinics like pitching clinic, batting cages etc that benefit the SGSL players.
