After dropping game one of the friendly, Bomb Squad bounced right back by getting the bats going in the first inning of game 2. Jessica led off the game with a basehit to right field. After Chloe's sacrifice bunt, Tera reached base on a HBP. Jacqi entered the game to run for Tera. With two runners on, Carley hit a bloop single to center, scoring Jessica. However, Jacqui was thrown out at third on the play. The inning ended on a caught line drive to SS, hit by Kristen. In the bottom of the first, Magic answered back as #3 singled with one out and advanced second when the ball was misplayed by the outfield. After advancing to third on a wild pitch, the runner scored on an infield hit.
In the top of the 4th, Bomb Squad broke the tie after Carley hit a lead off single to left and scored minutes later when Kristen tripled to the left-center field gap. Kristen then went on to score on a wild pitch, extending the lead to 3 - 1. Bomb Squad scored its last run in the top of the 5th when Chloe hit a double over the left fielder's head and scored on a line drive single to center by Tera. Kristen pitched a great game, allowing 1 unearned run, on one hit, and struck out 7.

After a ground ball by Chloe moved Jessica to second, Taz knocked in Jessica with a line-drive basehit to center, for the game's first run. American Pastime answered back with two runs in the bottom of the fourth and went on to win 2 - 1. Although we came up short on the scoreboard, the team played great for its first game of the season.

About Bomb Squad Softball Organization
Bomb Squad Softball is an ASA girls fast-pitch travel softball organization in Anaheim Hills, consisting of five teams - 2 teams in the 12U division, one team in the 14U division, one team at the 16U divison, and one 18 Gold team. It is our goal to develop highly competitive teams that will make a run at ASA Nationals every year, while developing each of our players to help them reach their potential, and prepare them for the highest level of softball.
In 2004, our first season on the fast-pitch travel softball scene, we consisted of only one 10U team and accomplished many of our goals. We qualified for the 2004 ASA National Championship in Tulsa, OK, the 2004 Triple Crown World Series in Park City, UT and the 2004 USSSA Western Nationals in Riverside, CA. We completed our inaugural season with second place finishes in both the Triple Crown World Series and the USSSA Western Nationals. This team has since moved up to 18 Gold, and has collected two other top ten finishes at national tournaments and placed 33rd (out of 129 teams) at the 2007 14U ASA National Championship in Normal, IL.
In addition, over the past 4 years, Bomb Squad has fielded 9 teams which have competed against some of the top teams in the country. Over the same period of time, Bomb Squad teams have finished in the top 10 in national tournaments 9 times, including 6 top 5 finishes and 4 runner up finishes.
We have since added four more teams to our organization and we are determined to develop our players to be the best that they can be, on and off of the field. Our young ladies learn that through teamwork and having a great work ethic, we can accomplish our goals.
