The Lightning Bolt
The Lightning Bolt Date: 06/13/2016 General: The 2016 softball season is in full swing as all of our teams are now playing in tournaments. This past weekend had 3 of our 4 teams in action, with our 16U team in Zanesville at the Rockets on the River, and our 10U & 14U teams in Athens to play in the Jason Reed for Autism tournament. Our 10U team capped off another good weekend of play finishing 2nd and our 14U team also made a deep run by getting to the semi-finals. Congratulations to both teams. A big THANK YOU from the board goes out to all who came and supported our LC Lightning Night at Ziggy’s. It was great to see so many players and parents to help make the evening a success. New mobile TEAM APP. If you haven’t already done so, please request access to the LC Lightning Team Page.
