On Sunday we played Warning Track Heat and beat them 8-0. Brooke Snyder had a 3 run homerun! The next game we played was the Conklin Raiders, that was such a nail biting game. We won 5-4 going into the 7th inning Amber Bordeau hits a triple with 2 outs and Tanner Barton hits a double knocking in for the winning run.

The overview of our team

We are a 14u travel team from all over the Northeast area. We have teammates from all the way in Tichonderoga and then going all the way to Albany. But our home base is in South Glens Falls. Our  5 core group of girls have stayed togther on the same team for the past 3yars. We were first known as Adirondack Xtreme but later changed our name to Adirondack Shock losing and adding on a couple differnent teammates to our great team. Sometimes on teams people dont get along to well and then drama starts building up and then eventually breaks the team apart, but with our group for the past 3years we have never had any drama with our girls, thats what makes our team so special. We all came to play for a purpose, to be the greatstest softball team ever and to have tons of victory. We all have such a great connection with each other. Even though some of us are far apart from each other we still stay in contact and hangout with each other even when its not softball season. We are more than just teammates, we are a family.With spring here our season is quickly coming to a start, we have had two turnoments inside which we both came in first in but now the real fun starts to begin, we finally get to play outside. Our first tournoment starts in a month and i think i can say for all of us we are really excited to start our season. We have 3 amazing pitchers, all starters for varsity high school teams, we have an excellent hitting and fielding team too. There is no doubt that we will dominate this year as our second year 14u team.
