Awesome tournament. Highly recommend for years to come. Show me where you can get a great tournament, nice fields and a 5-game guarantee for less than $300. Same organization runs the Father's Day Classic in Champion in June. We've been there as well and it was always awesome. If you're looking for a tournament in June, Champion is the way to go -- very organized, talented teams and college scouts have been there too!

Very good team that Chain14 put together for the tune-up tournament. Heard they had 3-4 girls from Valley Extreme-patchin with them this weekend, because of missing girls to high school season.

Who won the 12U?

When we left after the 14u championship it looked like the rec team was winning over Sting. it was 9 to 12 or something. But they were still playing.

My dd subbed with this team last year for most of the season and she would give her left arm to still be playing with them. (except she needs it to play ball) LOL

Yes, I believe they did have a few subs this weekend but believe me when I say this the girls who where missing from their roster (b/c of High School ball) are every bit as good as the ball players they had filling in this weekend. We expect to hear alot of good things about them this year. They are a very hard working group of girls with top notch coaches!!!

Results:

10u
Perry Extreme over Chain Reaction

12u
Brecksville Lady Bees over Valley Sting. This had to be the best game of the tournament. These 2 teams battled back and forth the entire 2 1/2 hrs. That has to be the longest 12u Championshio game ever. Neither team gave up. Keep in mind, everyone thinks that Brecksville was a rec ball team, they are not, they have played other tournaments in the past but the whole team is based out of one community which most travel teams are not, hats off to both teams for a great game, those girls should be proud.

14u
Chain Reaction (Nicholas) over Ohio Blast (Dennison)


Thank you to all participating teams for a fantastic weekend of Fastpitch. The weather was perfect and the competition was great. Special thanks to the Ohio Blast organization for all the help this weekend and all the work you have done in the past. We'll see you all soon I'm Sure

P.S. Look for us again in September for another tournament at the same complex, we'll post it soon.

Scott and the rest of Chain Reaction,

Thanks for putting on such a great opener to the outdoor season. Your organization did an awesome job. Dragging and lining the fields between games is not something you see very often. The amount of games versus the cost is next to none regardless if it is sanctioned or not. The girls are all there to play ball and that's what we all got this weekend.

I would second your statement on Brecksville, Scott. For those of you that do not know this team as was I, this team is no rec ball team. They are well coached and they can flat out play. Our two games against them this weekend were fun to be a part of. That game on Sunday was the longest and one of the most exciting games I have been a part of, lots of ups and downs but in the end it was still great to be playing. Hats off to the Bee's and also to our players for a fun game. Hope to see Brecksville around this summer.

I almost forgot

THANK YOU Bob and Theresa House and crew for helping Chain Reaction keep this Spring Tune-up going. Your fields and concessions were excellent and your crew was top notch! We look forward to doing more tournaments with you in the future.

I agree. Well run. Great crew. And since no one mentioned 10u. I will. Hats off to all teams.
Well played by all all the 10u teams. It seems as everyone had a great time and all comments I heard were positive. Looking forward to next year.
