The tournament along with a couple off-field team get-togethers really helped solidify friendships and will bring the girls back next year for more softball fun. Thank you to all the umpires and volunteers – it was a super fun season!

This is how we finish our year! A celebratory dunking of kids representing multiple divisions!! — no kids were hurt in this stunt 😉               Photo courtesy of Chris and Dorothy Hines
