Batter Up for Autism Charity Tournament

WE ARE DOING A REORDER!🧡💙🥎

We should have never underestimated the power of the "Orange"
These shirts were so popular they sold out Friday of the tournament so we are placing another order.

The form has been emailed to all teams that participated, so parents ask your coach about it! We know they are super busy and sometimes miss these emails.

Potential Development families! Jodi will be placing one large order with us as well. She will be sending out more info on how to order.

As always, any funds raised from this additional shirt sale will be added to our total donation to Potential Development.

🧨💥 BATTING UP IN AGE AND BATTLING TO THE END! 💥🧨

Thank you to Riley Firestone for joining our squad this weekend and helping our girls battle it out! Hope to have you suit up with us again soon! 🧨

Overall, this was a complete team performance. Every player contributed, every player competed, and every player helped push Iron City Dynamite to a Championship appearance while playing up against older competition.

We couldn't be prouder of the way these girls represented Iron City—playing up, competing hard, supporting one another, and showing outstanding sportsmanship all weekend long.

The future is bright, Dynamite Nation! 💣🔥🧨

As some of you may have seen we had a professional photographer with us all weekend. She created a website for all the photos. Thank you ANO & Co Photography for your continued support every year!
