Lancaster Ohio Tournament - Runner-up
Congratulations to the 15u Thunderbirds on their ASA World Series Qualifier achievement. They faught a tough fight all the way to the bitter end... a long trip down to Lancaster, and unseasonably cold weather..... they kept on fighting all the way to the championship game. We were proud of their efforts and congratulate them on second place in the tournament. Great job Thunderbirds!!!
