The U10 Flame had a great (although very wet) weekend at the 2009 SMDC. After a close loss on Friday night they came back and won both games Saturday and both games on Sunday to win the title.

The U10 Flame had a super weekend in Madison, Maine.

May 29-31, 2009 was a great weekend for the U10 Flame. We finished Saturday with the #1 seed going 3-0. On Sunday we lost the Championship Game 3-2. Everyone had a terrific time and the girls are ready for the SMDC and States!

The U10 Southern Maine Flame finished 3rd in the PONY Qualifier. They lost the semi-final game in a classic 9 inning battle vs. the CT Mirage.

The 2009 season started out with a bang as the U10 Flame own the Charlie Leto Memorial. The Flame went 3-0 on Saturday, April 25 to take home the big hardware!

On December 29, 2008 the U10 girls got together for beach whiffleball game, pizza party and sleepover. They all had a great time and got to know each other really well.

Congratulations to the U10 Southern Maine Flame for finishing #2 in ASA State Championship! They fought hard but fell just short of victory in an 8 inning battle vs. the Capital Maniacs. Both teams walked off the field with their heads high!

The girls had a very exciting weekend in Millbury, MA on May 23-25. It was the first two-day tournament so everyone was quite pumped. It lived up to expectations as the girls not only went 2-1 on Saturday but had lots of fun!

The U10 Flame finished 2nd in the Barbara Hamilton Tournament this past weekend in Hudson, NH. The girls played some amazing softball including a 1-0 victory over the host team and Regional ASA Champion Hudson Heat in a 7 inning errorless game. The Hudson girls got some good hits including 5 to the outfield but the Flame outfielders kept every outfield hit to a single. Mo Hannan threw 13 strikeouts in the victory. On Sunday, the Flame faced Hudson again in the Championship Game. Hudson won that game with a terrific pitching but Mo also threw another 15 strikeouts herself! It was a great weekend and the U10 girls should be very proud of their accomplishment!

On June 26 and June 27 the U10 girls competed in the ASA State Championships finishing a strong 3rd. Losing only to the eventual winner and runner up the girls had a great weekend and in almost 100 degree heat showed that they are among the very best in the state of Maine.

The U10 girls competed in the 2005 Pony National Qualifier, The Bandit Bash, the weekend of May 13-15.

The 2005 team is loaded and ready for Spring to arrive. Winter Workouts have been productive and we look forward to hitting the fields (and some live softballs) soon.

On August 24, 2004, the Southern Maine Flame 10U team took their hard earned raffle money and enjoyed a Sea Dogs game at Hadlock field. Almost everyone was able to attend with their families. It was a great way to end a terrific 2004 season!!

We finished our season on a real high by outscoring our opponents 77-20 on our way to a 3-1-1 record in Augusta's Mainiac Mania tournament.

The girls did a great job at the Regionals in Leominster, MA. We ended up losing in the brackett play to the eventual winner and the runner-up.

The 2004 Southern Maine Flame 10U team was made up of 6 girls from Scarborough, 3 from Biddeford, 1 from Arundel and 1 from Pownal. On the weekend of June 13 we took a trip to Groton, Massachusetts to compete in the Firecat Frenzy. After practicing together since October it was the first tournament for us. We played in 4 games over the weekend. In the Championship Game on Sunday we faced a team from Shrewsbury that had not lost all weekend. In fact, that same team had crushed us 15-0 on Saturday afternoon. I was so proud of my girls to not let that get them discouraged as we headed into the big game. In the first inning we jumped all over them with a 2 out-2 RBI shot to left field by my daughter, Mariah. The Shrewsbury Shockers were in shock seeing this team from Maine that was soundly defeated the day before get more runs off them in one inning than they had given up all weekend. After one inning it was 5-0. They were in shock but they were a solid team and did not give up. Seven innings later, the score was tied 7-7. In the bottom of the 8th inning, with 2 outs and a girl on 2nd base, they hit a little blooper over my pitcher's head. By the time it dribbled to 2nd base and anyone reached it the girl from 2nd base was coming around 3rd base and heading home. We didn't even have time to get a throw in on her. She scored, we lost. Abbie Hutchinson picthed all 8 innings in an incredible display of guts and competitiveness. When asked how she felt after 7 complete innings she replied, without hesitation, "Give me the ball coach, I'm fine." It was a very exciting weekend. After the game, they all remained focused on what a great job they did and how much fun we had over the weekend. I was so proud of them!
