After breaking her thumb at our last tournament and being placed in a hard cast, Margaret hasn't missed a practice, game, or opportunity to be with her team. That's commitment. That's being a teammate. That's Heat fam. ๐ฅ

Ellie has been practicing with us for months, hustling hard and honing her skills... so we were all excited to see her make her very first travel ball debut! ๐คฉ She got straight to work on defense, earning all three outs in the 3rd inning of Game 1!! And then in Game 2, after badly straining a groin muscle that pulled her off defense, she refused to become an out for her team for the remainder of the game. She stepped into the box, laid down a beautiful bunt, and then stole 2nd base. That kind of grit can't be taught.โค๏ธโ๐ฅ

Big thanks to Mike Einspahr for driving down Saturday to run GameChanger and cheer for the team even though his own player is out with an injury. We appreciate you, Mike!
And of course, thanks again to EVERYONE who voted for the team to win Best Costume. The girls were so grateful!!!
