Shamrocks Newsletter - Summer/Fall 2002 Contents of this Newsletter: A. Message from 18 & Under Shamrocks Head Coach Tommy Orndorff B. Shamrocks Tryouts ---------------------------------------------------- A. Message from 18 & Under Shamrocks Head Coach Tommy Orndorff Coming off the Pegasus Tournament: "Going up against some top-of-the-line competition, this was big for us -- winning this tournament. The Michigan Oilers and Conklin's Raiders are outstanding teams with tremendous traditions going back through the years. It's two of the tougher opponents that we have faced during the course of the 2002 season. "I could not be more proud of the girls. Perhaps our greatest strength is their will to win. They truly know how to win. We always seem to find that little extra when we need it. And, we do it in so many different ways........... making something happen with our aggressive baserunning and putting the ball in play or going up-top and prevailing. One constant has been our pitching and defense, both of which have been tremendous this summer." Coming off our PONY National Championship: "Like any quality ball club, we have goals.............. and this was one of 'em, winning PONY Nationals. Now, it's time to take it to a different level.......... the ASA 18-and-Under Gold National Championships in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. "PONYs are a great tune-up for what lies ahead. The good news is, we seem to have found our bats again coming off Sunday's play in Cary, N.C. I like what I see.............. we're ready. Our goal: a Top 10 finish and just to play our best ball of the season in the next seven days. It's a tremendous challenge, but I like our chances. We're just playing great softball right now." ----------------------------------------------------- B.
