Anna sent a ball close to 300 feet and became the first Stinger to hit a dinger in the 2009/2010 season! Had the games been played on fields with 200' fences, the coaches concluded that there would have been 6 homeruns from Abby, Anna (3), Linsey and Mara. Mary came up with the key hit of the weekend that blew open the championship game. The defensive play(s) of the tournament were awarded to Sierra as she was given the team trophy. Amanda was by far the most solid defensive player for the weekend and received the highest praise award possible (from the competition). She was singled out from a player on the second place team (of the tournament) as the best short stop she had ever seen (but we already knew that)!!! Amanda, that's really cool - that doesn't happen very often! The Stingers were back to their old crazy ways stealing over 25 bases in the weekend (even Linsey). The team was happy to see Haley back in uniform after sustaining a serious injury to her knee back in early July. Emily, we missed you but you're going to state for High School - Good Luck girl!! The Stingers are off to a little Skyzone battle this upcoming weekend. Then they are back in action in a few weeks for their final fall tournament. Great start ladies!

Sunday, April 12 Stingers Win 16u Easter Tournament
Thursday, March 5 Stinger Head Coach goes the "extra mile" to help solve team's base running woes....
After studying game photos and watching countless hours of game tape, the Stinger coaching staff came to the conclusion that maybe some of the team's baserunning woes could be attributed to vision problems. In an unprecedented move, head coach Dave Parks enlisted the help of the Gateway Opthamalogy Treatment Center for Hopeful Athletes (GOTCHA) to test his theory. Medical specialists confirmed that poor vision indeed was hampering the teams ability to steal bases. In an amazing act of kindness, GOTCHA clinicians agreed to donate special corrective lenses to the St. Louis Stingers softball team. After an on-site eye exam at the Stingers practice, the girls had no problems seeing when to leave the base as it was pitched. The Stingers would like to thank GOTCHA for their support! Sunday, March 1 Stingers Bring Home The Gold The St. Louis Stingers won the 16u Jamestown Indoor tournament this past weekend by posting a 4-1 record.

The Wolfpack were undefeated until they faced the Stingers. The Stingers beat the Wolfpack 6-3 to advance to the finals. The Stingers got a chance to avenge their earlier loss to the Sluggers and in ITB, the Stingers prevailed 5-2. The Stingers are now 13-5-3 for 2009. The Stingers would like to thank Mary G for coming out and helping us this weekend. Oh and by the way Mary, nice dinger! Congrats ladies on a well played tournament.
