Lasers Gold has come a LONG way since losing to Indiana Thunder and another team earlier this year in Fort Wayne. Their hitting line-up has come together and is downright nasty, with multiple girls going yard this year. Have not seen too much of 10u other than Laser Gold this year, sure there are some other very good teams also, as mentioned.
Would love to see them tangle again with some of the Indiana teams which gave them battles earlier in the year, not sure who would win, but the games would be fun.
Here is some interesting stuff RE Thunder though, and one of their pitchers. Two years ago my kid played for a 10u Sapphires team at NSA B nationals in Chattanooga. Indiana Thunder won that tournament. Funny thing though was that their best pitcher was a tiny little lefty blond haired pigtailed "8u", who was traveling down to Chattanooga in a pickup truck when it flipped over, lucky to be alive (probably - not sure of details) let alone pitching that week!! So this little "8u lefty showed up to pitch with stitches and bandages in Chattanooga and was dominant, at 10u. Well, I was talking with a 12u Thunder parent at Compuware, and she is still pitching for the 10u Thunder. So, my guess is that their pitching is ... well, solid. Heard both her parents are pretty tall, so if/when she gets her growth spurt, look out.
