We made it to February!! Ries 14U enjoyed a loved-filled Galentine's Day luncheon and Secret Admirer gift exchange after practice for their holiday team gathering!

Championship Sunday ended early for 14U Ries. Lost game 1 to the USA Explosion 3-5. Needless to say, the September weather was gorgeous in CDA and we enjoyed our first Fall Frenzy. 🍁🍁It was nice to dip our toes into 14U as we head into the upcoming season.

The Fall Frenzy in CDA, Idaho has been a fantastic start to our 14U season! 14U Ries went 2-1 today landing themselves the #2 seed in the Gold bracket. Bracket play tomorrow, let's go Avalanche!!

Today's games:
vs Maniacs (w) 9-3
vs LCThunder-Willis (l) 4-8
vs North Idaho Chaos (w) 11-2

Our last night in Ogden, UT we took them to the AUSL game played at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The highlight of the night was MT Avalanche welcoming the Talons onto the field this evening for the AUSL game. They got to hang out in the dugout and watch Mariah Lopez and Montana Fouts warm up.They will never forget this!

Our time at the TCS World Series came to an end, we went 1-1 today, but these ladies played HARD all week and impressed all of these teams who have played at least twice the amount of games we have. Avalanche made it to the Top 8 out of 28 teams ( #2 seed in Gold bracket).Way to represent Montana ladies! It's been the BEST week!

Still alive! Go Avalanche!

Bracket play! Holy smokes these girls came to play! Game 1 we fell behind and came back to win it with a walk off hit by Addy Ries defeating the Utah Freakz 5-4. No break and the heat rising, they took the field again and faced a tough team who snuck ahead by 6 runs. Only our team came back in the final inning just falling short losing 7-8. What a game! Another 2R HR by Addy Ries, go off girl! Next game is tomorrow morning at 9:45am.
