RBI Inferno 12U Elite Finish Runner Up at WFC Battle of the Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC

The 12U Elite made it's final 2009 stand in what would be it's toughest test of the year. Traveling south of the border to Myrtle Beach was what this top level team had been waiting for all year. They would face the toughest teams they had seen all season. Teams came from Virginia, NC, SC, & Georgia to compete at the highest level of 12U fastpitch softball.

Inferno dominated in pool play and through the first couple of games in elimination. As the field narrowed going into Sunday, the competition got stiffer. Making it to the final round in the winner's bracket, we would face a very strong Tanel 360 Black team out of southern Georgia. The game was a defensive dual for sure. Going a full 7 innings with no score and headed into ITB, we knew we had finally met our equal. After two innings of ITB, Tanel scored a run and that's all it would take. Great game, but they knew they would see us again real soon.

Now in the loosers bracket, it was The Fire 97 out of South Carolina. They were a year younger, but it sure didn't show. They put up a much better battle than they did on Saturday, but we were just too strong. Now it was the rematch we had been anticipating. We would have to defeat the Tanel 360 team twice to take home the gold, but we knew we had the talent to do just that.

The game was another defensive battle through 7 innings, and sure enough a 1-1 tie and headed to ITB. It would last another 4 innings. First we scored two, then they would match it. Then again, we scored another two and they countered it. Finally in the 11th, the winning run came across the plate for the Tanel team and it was over. What a game!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both of these top teams traveled 6 hours from the south and from the north to meet in what was the most memorable game of our season. Congratulations to the Tanel team. They are the strongest batting 12U team I've ever seen and they will do awesome at 14U next season.

And a huge congratulations to the players, parents, & coaches of the Inferno. You all have made 2009 something for this organization to be real proud of. As rising 13U players, it's going to be a tough year in 2010 for your competition.

GO INFERNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


There's a special story behind the picture below. The players below had never met each other until this day. They formed a bond on the field like I have never seen before and may never again. This young lady (stud catcher & batter) from the Tanel team came to our pitcher after the game. She asked her to sign a game ball she had hit over the 200' fence in a previous game against another team. She said to our pitcher in that wonderful Georgia accent. "I want your autograph because you'll be famous one day, and I might be able to sell this ball on e-bay" That statement brought a smile and a tear to a wonderful young lady, our pitcher. I personally will never forget this past weekend and I'm sure there are many others from Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and I know Virginia that share the same feeling.

All I can say is UNBELIEVABLE....

14U Inferno Gold Finishes Runner Up in USFA Halloween Bash in Kinston, NC

The ladies of the Inferno 14U Gold traveled south this past weekend to East Carolina to play in the largest tournament of the fall. USFA had 40 teams playing at the 14U age level and that was just what Inferno was looking for. Lots of teams and some good competition. Saturday's pool play was fun, but meant nothing but some warm-up games for Sunday. Sunday's elimination was pre-determined by a blind draw that was done before we even arrived. Lucky us, we had an 8:00 Sunday start while the more fortunate slept till noon. That's OK, the ladies fought hard all day winning a nail biter semi-final against a big Carolina Lookouts team 1-0. Then it was on to the championship game against the Hurricanes.

All I can say is it was an offensive battle the entire way. The Hurricanes can hit and hit they did. Back and forth the lead changed until time expired and we fell short. 7-6 final score. The Hurricanes are a classy group with some of the nicest players we have ever faced. We thank them for a great Championship game and hope to see them in the future.

Great job this weekend ladies!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, what a way for the Inferno Teams to officially kick off the Fall Season. Five Inferno teams played some awesome softball this weekend with four coming away with some nice hardware.

A huge congratulations to the 13U Blue for finishing Champions of the 14U age group. They were the dominate team as usual, going 4-2 and knocking off both the 14U Edge teams. First defeating the 14U edge in the semi-final 6-0 and then moving on to defeat the younger Edge in the Championship by a score of 16-7. I personally am very proud to have this team in our organization. Great coaches, great parents, and best of all awesome young players.

Next it was our 14U gold team playing up at the 16U level. These girls turned on the Inferno Heat as usual. Going 5-1 for the weekend and finishing 2nd place in the Gold division. Congratulations to the Richmond Speed on their victory. They gave us a great Championship game.

Also, congratulations to our 16U Red team for finishing 2nd in the Silver. They played some awesome ball both days. Defense was awesome, giving up very few runs. They just couldn't put runs on the board to win some very, very close games. Look out for them when the bats come alive.

Will still have one more to congratulate. Our 10U team went 4-1 and lost in the Semi-Final to a rising 12U team playing down in the Fall. They placed 3rd and soon will be at the top again.

GREAT JOB TO ALL OF THE INFERNO LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rising 12U NSA World Series Champions make their 13U debut in style *****CHAMPIONS*****
Labor Day Scramble Champions

The rising RBI Inferno Blue begins their 2009 fall 13U season in style. Going into the SN Labor Day Scramble as the youngsters of the field, they showed why talent not age maters. They had a little help, very little, from their older sisters on the 14U. Going 5-1 for the weekend, Inferno first knocked off the Hanover X-treme 14U, not once, but twice. We appreciate the great competition they offered.

In the Championship game the competition got tougher. Now facing the Bobcats, who had been undeafeated in 14 straight games. They would first fall to Inferno on Sunday mornings pool play game. Then it was the rematch in the Final game.

The Championship game started as a defensive battle, but soon Inferno's offense turned on the heat and scored first. From that point on, Inferno continued to score and their defense held the Bobcat's offense at bay. Final score Inferno 4, Bobcat's 0. Hats off to the class act 14U Bobcat's. They gave the 13U Inferno a good look at what 14U softball is all about.

AS ALWAYS,

12U RBI INFERNO ELITE #1 IN THE STATE

OK, Where do I start. I know, WAY TO GO INERNO ELITE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the young ladies of the 12U Inferno Elite. Once again you proved you are the best 12U team in the State. It started by defeating the NSA State Champions on Saturday and then eliminating the NSA State Runner ups on Sunday. Both of these games were tough battles, but Inferno did their job and were victorious.

Sunday the players, parents, and coaches waited to see who they would face in the championship. Orion Hunter vs. Yorktown Revolution... Orion Hunter jumped on the Revolution fast and furious, never looking back. They were on a mission, a re-match of the Cabin Fever Championship Game in March between Inferno and them.

The teams were set for the Championship. It would be Orion Hunter vs. RBI Inferno. It was a battle for 7 innings, momentum going from one side to the other as both team made incredible plays. Both teams fought hard all the way to the end. Orion led Inferno going in to the bottom of the 7th, 2-1. But our girls new they had one more chance. We were back at the top of our order, exactly where we wanted to be. With a lead off walk, the tieing run was on 1st. Then with 2 strikes, #2 batter lays down a perfectly executed bunt. Now with runners at first and second the third batter lays another perfect bunt down, bases loaded and no outs. Cleanup hitter up to bat and on a 3-2 count draws a walk, game tied. Batter #5 swings away at the first pitch and drives in the winning run, the rest is History.

I also want to say how awesome the players, coaches, parents & fans are from the Orion Hunter team. We couldn't have wished to play a more class act team than them.

Inferno Teams visit Longwood Softball

20+ Players and Parents from the Inferno Family spend a sunny cool day at Longwood University. Some arrived at the 10:00 game between Longwood & St. Johns and got to see Longwood turn on the offense and come back from an 0-1 score to finish 2-1 in victory. Then it was Bucknell vs. St. Johns and as Bucknell battled, the Red Storm was too much for them and finished strong with a 5-0 vicotry. Finishing out our day it was the Lancers turn to play Bobcats of Quinnipiac University. The game stayed close the entire time and finished with the Longwood Lancers on top 1-0.

All of the players had a great time watching the games wrapped up in blankets. After the game they enjoyed talking with the players from Longwood. And had a chance to ask questions and just get a feel of what it was like to be playing ball for a college team.

Thank you to both Coach Kathy Riley, Coach Kayla Miller, and all of the Players for making our trip a memorable one.

GO LANCER'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again we get to Congratulate both the 10U & the 12U Inferno Elite. Both teams finished as Champions in their first tournaments of 2009. The hard work both teams put in indoors for the past 2+ months paid off.

First, the young 10U team went 3-0 in a one day Pony tournament in hopewell. Showing that talent has nothing to do with age. Way to go 10U!!!!!!!!!

Second, the 12U RBI Inferno Elite traveled to one of the largest tournaments of the Spring. The top teams from NC, MD, & VA came to participate in the most competitive tournament being held in March. The Inferno Elite, which had not even practiced together since the Fall, went 6-0 and rang up a total of 44 runs while only allowing 8. Never once falling behind their opponent, hitting and running the bases like no one has seen before. The defense was incredible, making ESPN replay type plays all weekend. Please visit the link above as more on this tournament will be posted soon on the 12U Elite site.

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS to both of these great teams.

Congratulations to both the 12U Blue and the 13U Gold for their strong finishes in the Chesterfield Classic Tournament.

The 12U Blue had a great first tournament of the season, going 4-2-1 and finishing 3rd out of the 13 teams that had traveled to play in Chesterfield. Leading their Semi-Final game early, but coming up short at the end of the game. This team will continue to do very well throughout the rest of the season.

The 13U Gold had a great weekend as they also played their first tournament of the long 2009 season. They went 5-2, scoring 57 and only allowing 22 runs for the tournament. Going into the Gold Championship game as the underdog, they were able to lead the game for 5 innings, but couldn't hold it till the end. We were so proud of how this team fought to the finish.

Inferno 10U Finishes Runner Up in SN tournament held in Charlottesville

We are so proud of how our youngest team we've ever fielded is playing this fall. Congratulations to the Head Coach Daniel Spencer, his assistants and especially the young ladies of the Inferno 10U team. The Coaches, Parents and the Fans are in awe of just how well this first year 10U team has competed. Going 3-0 on Saturday in what was described as some of the best 10U ball they had played to date. They then turned around on Sunday and went all the way to the Championship game and fell short. Playing a 2nd year 10U team, that has to move to 12U come Spring, the Inferno held there own. This older 1OU team will soon meet our 2nd year 12U team. The great thing for the 10U Inferno is they will be playing 10U in the Spring. They bad thing for their competition is that the Inferno 10U will be playing 10U in the Spring.

INFERNO 13U WINS SILVER CHAMPIONSHIP 2 WEEKENDS IN A ROW

Once again the Inferno has won the Silver division championship. Going 0-2 in pool play on a rainy Saturday, they came out on Sunday and did everything they needed to do to win. All I can say is "What another great defensive, and this weekend an offensive Sunday". They faced the West End Wrath in what we knew would be a tough battle, and it proved just that. They scored first and then we went ahead and were able to hold them til the end. This weeked proved good for everyone in our pool play bracket. All four of the teams finished 1st or 2nd in both the Gold and the Silver.

RBI Inferno 12U Elite Wins Gold Division Championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again the Inferno shows the competition just why they're #1. Going 2-0 in pool play on Sunday and only giving up 1 run placed them 1st out of the 10 teams competing. Seeding #1 gave them a bye in the GOLD DIVISION as they waited to play the winner of the Blazin Stars vs. Hanover Extreme. The Stars, who had earlier tied the Titans 2-2, gave up 6 runs the first inning against the Extreme. The Extreme was able to hold on and secure their chance at the Inferno. Once again the Inferno's defense was unbeatable and their bats did what they needed to do to come out on top. Winning the game 5-0 they showed the competition just what they are made of. Only giving up 1 run in 3 games is something to be extremely proud of, not to mention the being the GOLD DIVISION CHAMPIONS.

12U Gold Takes Home Silver Championship in Queen of the Hill

The ladies of the 12U Inferno Gold played some of their best ball this weekend, bringing home the Silver division championship and giving the Gold division Champions their only loss of the weekend. They went 5-4 and lost a couple of tight games that came down to the wire. The bats really came to life on Saturday morning and we seemed unstoppable. The defense was almost flawless all weekend and we showed the best teams there what we were made of. Going 3-1 in our first four games of pool play, the girls new they had to win the next two or be placed in the silver division from the start. It just so happened the next two pool play games were against teams that had not lost a game and were both 5-0.

First we had the Manassas Blaze and it was a close game down to the end. Our girls played an amazing game and came out on top with a score of 3-2. Next we had the Legends who had been destroying the competition all weekend. Boy were they in for a big surprise. We came out and pounded the ball and before they new what had happened the game was over 9-0 under the mercy rule.

All the coaches and I want to say just how proud we were of these fine young ladies and what they accomplished this past weekend.

It was also a success for Inferno players with 8 out of the 30 participants being from the Inferno organization. The camp was instructed by well known statewide pitching instructor Bobby Wills, Virginia Tech's Senior pitcher Angela Tincher and USC's top ranked utility player, Ashton Payne. Bobby brought many years of fastpitch instruction and his own experiences as a fastpitch pitcher. Angela demonstrated and taught her techniques as one of the countries top college pitchers. Ashton spent time speaking to the players about what it takes to get to college as a student athelete and what is expected of you after you get there.

The Inferno players, parents and I want to thank Kerri and all of her help for putting on another great camp.

12U Gold Finishes Runner Up in the Pony "Ham Slam"
HamSlam_2ndPlace

What a great weekend for the players, coach's and fans that were in Smithfield to be apart of the "Ham Slam" tournament. The 12U Gold went 3-0 on Saturday finishing #1 seed in their bracket and drew a tough game right off the bat on Sunday. Facing one of the favorites (Yorktown Revolution) we showed that we were there to go all the way. Winning a very exciting game 5-2 and sending us to the final four. The semi-final game might have well been the championship game. The only two teams left undefeated were us and the Sterling Baseliners and it proved to be just what we expected. We started strong scoring 2 right off the bat and then held them to 2 runs through out the rest of the game. With 3 minutes left, we scored once more and held them as time ran out. Winning against a great team 3-2, then it was on to face Orion Hunter. They got on top quick and were able to hold us off.

It was a great weekend and we are so proud of how far this young team has come in just a short time.

GO INFERNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007 World Series Team Picture
Congratulations girls for finishing 5th out of 33 teams in the 2007 NSA World Series. Going 4-3 for the series and proving that determination and hard work pay off. I couldn't have been prouder as we went on a 4 game winning streak and played the toughest competition in the tournament. Everyone in our 4 team bracket made it to the top 8 and the Cyclones, which we defeated on Tuesday, made it to the championship and finished second. This shows that we have come a long way since tryouts on December 29th.

GO INFERNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to the ladies that played for our 12U Blue team Coach's in the NSA Heatwave. A mixture of young players (majority 10U) that came together and proved that age means nothing. You played two great games in the Championship round against established 12u teams. First beating the #1 seeded Delaware Diamonds in ITB and then giving the Louisa Thunder a tough fight to the end. You and your Coaches have something to be very proud of.

GO INFERNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
