Thunder Wrap Up Season

The Southern Kentucky Thunder 6 and under team played in two tournaments in July. The first was the National Invitational Tournament in Bowling Green and included teams from Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. The Thunder finished third with both losses coming to the Oklahoma Force. The tournament was quite an experience - especially opening ceremonies on Friday night. Below are a couple of pictures that give some idea of the atmosphere. The Thunder also played in an 8 and under tournament in Cookeville (TN). There is definitely a step up in class between 6 and under versus 8 and under teams. The trip was a good time for both Annee and Hayden despite the lack of on-field success.

At least two teams arrived in stretch limos.

Here come the Thunder.

Another team picture - this time after getting off the bus at opening ceremonies.

The Indianapolis 8 and under team.

The crowd eagerly awaiting opening ceremonies.

All good teams need a cart to transport bat bags from field to field.
