The Stingers are a girls fastpitch tournament softball team.
The team plays out of  Fredericksburg, Virginia with players from Orange, Spotsylvania, Caroline and surrounding counties. 

 

SEASON FALL FINALE (Newport News VA. Oct 24-25) >>> Stingers finish 3rd after going 2-1 in pool play, losing in the semi's to the Lady Aces.... Coach Thomas - "We lost our first pool play game, but didn't hit - our pitching was good enough to win and we played good defense. The HR Vipers just put together a few back to back hits and scored all of their runs in one inning. It was good game by both teams... We turned it up in the next two pool play games and played very complete games, winning both... We entered the semi finals playing well by beating a very solid Orion Hunter team.... In the semi final game the Aces capitalized on our errors scoring 3 runs in the top half of the first...They had the momentum from the very first batter and never relinquished it. Plain and simple we just played flat in the semi's and you have to give credit to the Aces - they didn't make any mistakes..... The old addage that defense wins Championships is so true........... Overall we are real happy with our performance and felt this was a well run tournament held at super facilities"

 

RICHMOND FALL CLASSIC (Oct 11, 2009) >>> The Stingers take runner up after falling short in the Championship game. Here's what Coach Thomas had to say "Most of the teams were pretty evenly matched, our first three games could have gone to either team and we were glad to win 2 of the 3 games. Our bats finally showed some life and we began to hit like we are capable of hitting -- and this against some solid pitching. I am really impressed with our teams progression from the left side of the plate, we dragged, slapped and hit real well from the left. I think our left side offense generated some excitement and it cared over. I get as pumped up over a drag bunt that advances a runner as I do a shot into the gap (well almost as excited)... This group is just so unselfish, they understand the need to advance runners and will do whatever it takes. That's just good fundamental fastpitch and that's who we want to be... We also saw some timely hitting, which is something we've been lacking this Fall. In a tie game, with the bases juiced and time expired Makayla pounds a bullet into left center for a bag clearing triple and we win the game - it was just super and I was really excited for Makayla. There were a lot of really nice hits by multiple players, but I have to recognize Elaine for the bomb home run she hit into left center. You could tell from the minute it left the bat that it was gone, it just sounded so good... We didn't play perfect defense, but we played good enough to stay in games. But we need to get a handle on the uncharacteristic errors, they will come back to haunt you and our defense has been our backbone. I love our current pitching staff, they threw really well all day. All of our pitchers have a different repotoire and approach.. With these differences they really compliment each other. Even though we lost got spanked in the Championship by Zero Tolerance, it was a great experience for our team to play against a team like ZT. They might very well be the best team we have ever played and it's no shame in losing to them. You learn alot when you play the best and that Championship game was a great experience for our players and will really help our program. Overall it was a good event and I hope we can carry it over to our next tournament!"

 QUOTE OF THE WEEK - When life hands you gators......... MAKE GATORADE!!!" :-)

 

--- THE GREAT ONES ---

The difference in a good player and a GREAT player is simple - it's passion for the game..... The great players compete with extreme desire. Through their passion they are mission focused -- nothing distracts them.... When the game is on they become different...  They are totally focused on every pitch. In the dugout they are visualizing - seeing somehting happen in your mind before it actually occurs. At gametime, if you talke to them about something other than fast pitch they will TEAR your head off as they find you a distraction to their mission. They hate to lose and won't accept mediocrity by others.... They are totally consumed with the game and always out practice and out work everyone else. The great ones are confident, aggressive and always play the game the right way, with huge hearts. You can spot them from a mile away, just by the way they carry themselves. They won't be denied and you can feel it through their presence.... Are you satisfied with being good?.....
