I would like to start off by thanking everyone that came to the 2008 Mustang Fall Roundup. We had so much fun!! 29 teams, beautiful weather, great parks, a great crowd, and most of all, great softball!!!
The Coach's Home Run Contest was the highlight of the day. A lot of old men putting all they had into doing what their girls do everyday!! It was really a lot of fun. But the winner came from the Tuscaloosa Titans 8U team. Greg Robertson hit the most over the fence in the final round to take the championship! It took 5 Home Runs or better to get to the final round, Greg hit 6 in the first, and then his total of 6 in the second round won him his entry fee for the tournament.
Other finishers were Keith Holbrooks (Hartselle Heat 8U) with 7 HRs in the first and 5 in the second round, Terry Ash (Rip Tide 99) with 6 HRs in the first and 4 in the second and Kenneth Hall with the Mustangs 97 had 5 HRs in the first and 3 in the second. In all 22 of the 29 teams participated in the contest. The girls were cheering on their coaches!!
Then in the softball tournament, that WAS what we were there for... we had some great games and great teams.
8U 1st - CC Crushers, 2nd-Birmingham Mustangs
10U Silver 1st - Vipers 99, 2nd - Riptide
10U Gold 1st - Vipers 98, 2nd - Red Storm Frenzy
12U 1st - Birmingham Mustangs 97, 2nd - Twisters 97
