Flood City/Diesel 13u - Mash

Final Chapter

We came up short in the semis. Sometimes the game just doesn’t bounce your way — the ball finds the other team’s gloves. But one weekend doesn’t define this team.

Since 10U, these girls finished 145-36-4. But it was never just about the wins. They changed the landscape of travel softball in this area. They played with grit, edge, and an identity that other teams had to prepare for.

We kept it simple:
– No fear.
– Believe in yourself before anyone else can.
– Give 100% every time you step on the field.

At our final team meeting, I told them: the swing stays the same. Teams change. Roles change. Life changes. But who you are — your work ethic, your fire, your confidence — that’s yours forever.

No idea what the future holds. But I know this: we’re walking into it ready.

🔥🔥🔥 THE GIRLS WERE ON FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥
No exaggeration — they came out today like they had something to prove… and they absolutely delivered.

💣 29 hits. 40 runs. ONLY 2 strikeouts.
Yeah. You read that right. 👀

💥 Paige was untouchable — fired a NO-HITTER in Game 2.
🎯 Our entire pitching staff locked it down with a .179 BAA — pure dominance.

And the bats? 🔊 Let’s talk about those:

🥎 Callie was a walking highlight reel, hitting over .800 for the day.
🔥 Syd smashed her way to a solid .500
⚡️ Ella, Liv, Annalee, EB, and Shorty were lacing doubles like it was batting practice
🚀 Cam crushed a triple that might still be rolling

Every player showed up. Every pitch mattered. Every at-bat was a battle.
Total team energy. Relentless from the first pitch to the last out.

This is what it looks like when chemistry, hustle, and heart come together. And when the Army marches as one.
Proud is an understatement. LET’S GO, FLOOD CITY. 💙💪

FINALLY… Flood City has come back to Erie! 🗣️🌊

We’re posted up on the beautiful shores of Lake Erie this weekend for Shine on the Shore, our final tournament of the season. Time to lock in, turn up, and get that bread one last time.

📍Saturday, July 19 – Game Day Lineup
🕗 8:00 AM – vs PLR 2011
🕤 9:30 AM – vs Anjo Saints
🕑 2:00 PM – vs SHE Kienzl 14U

Let’s leave it all on the dirt. One team. One mission. One last ride.

After three long, scorching days of softball, Flood City rose to the challenge and took it all, winning the Rage in the Valley tournament with guts, grit, and a relentless team effort.

It didn’t start smoothly. We went 1–2 in pool play, landing the #4 seed heading into bracket Sunday — unfamiliar territory, but this team doesn’t fold under pressure.

Game 1 saw us fall behind 6–2, but the girls never blinked. The rally started with one of the biggest singles of the season from Shorty, setting the tone. EB followed with a massive 2-run double, and the comeback was on. Sydnee capped it off with a bases-loaded single that drove in Kyla for the game-winner in an electric 8-7 finish.

Game 2 was all business. Olivia spun a one-hit shutout to take down the #1 seed, 2–0. Behind the dish, Ava was flawless — throwing out every baserunner who dared try her. Paige and Ella delivered back-to-back doubles to fuel the offense and send us to the title game.

The championship game was a team clinic. Paige started strong in the circle, Ella pitched lights-out in relief, and Olivia recorded the final two outs for the save. Offensively, Paige crushed a solo shot, and Ella’s fifth-inning bomb scored Paige and turned out to be the game-winner in a 5–3 victory.

Defensively, Cam and Callie were vacuum cleaners — turning base hit after base hit into outs with their range and instincts. At third, Karsyn was a wall. She locked down her side of the field all weekend, making big plays in big moments without hesitation.

Weekend by the numbers:
• Kyla, Olivia, Sydnee, Paige, Madi, and Ava all batted over .300
• Only 10 strikeouts as a team across the entire tournament
• Opponents hit just .212 against our pitchers
• Only 11 earned runs allowed all weekend

Proud? That doesn’t even begin to cover it. These girls fought through heat, pressure, adversity, and expectations. They rose above it all — with heart, toughness, and unity.

Rage in the Valley Champions – Built Different. Flood City Strong.

🏅 Runner-Up Finish for Flood City 13U! 🏅

This squad left it all on the field Sunday, bringing home a runner-up finish after a hard-fought tournament run. 💪

We had big-time moments, including Ella Pletcher’s game-sealing solo bomb in the semifinal that launched us into the championship game. 💣

The bats cooled off late, and we ran into a red-hot Bullpen Bulls team in the final, but there's no quit in this group. Every player contributed, and the grit, heart, and hustle were on full display.

Proud of these athletes. Proud of this team. On to the next!

Happy 14th Birthday Madisyn!!! Hope you have a great day!!!!

FINALLY…
FLOOD CITY HAS COME BACK TO WINDBER!

Now it’s time to finish what we started — with intensity, pride, and purpose.

This weekend isn’t about who’s watching.

⚡️ No fear.
⚡️ No mercy.
⚡️ Just Flood City on a mission.
