Jersey Shore Huskies making noise!!! 16U '00 captures 2nd Place at a USSSA Tourney

Sept. 26-27,  - Congratulations to the Jersey Shore Huskies 16U ’00 for making the final and earning 2nd place at the USSSA 16u Extravaganza Tournament in Linden, NJ.  The 16U Huskies overcame a slow start on Saturday pool play posting a 1-1-1 record.  On Sunday, they came out and tamed the Fury by winning their quarterfinal.  They faced the Bombers in the semi-final and it was a hard fought match.  True to the Bombers was a home-run in the 1st inning, but the Huskies remained calm and eventually won to reach the final.

The Jersey Shore Huskies 12u ‘03 played at the ASA NJ Fight Invitational held at Newark, NJ.  Their 2-1 record on Saturday was provided with solid pitching, and a tenacious defense.  The Huskies made it all the way to the semi-final round and ending the day in 3rd place.  Great job Huskies!!!

The Jersey Shore Huskies 14u ‘03 played up at a 16U open tournament this weekend at Linden, NJ and played well.  This was the same place a few weeks ago that the 14u Husky team were mentioned on the softball forum of NJ.com for great sportsmanship.  One of the Philly Storm player was hit by a ball on the side of the head thrown from the cutoff.  The player turned her head for a second watching the Husky player running to 3rd base.  The player drop with a big thud as soon as she was hit.  Both Husky coaches rushed to her side as they saw the play immediately and followed by her coaches.  All the coaches knelt by her side to assure that she was ok and eventually was assisted in getting up.  The Husky coaches received an email later on that she did not suffer any concussion.  The Husky players cheered on the Philly Storm players during the game and showed them encouragement.  Now that's sportsmanship!!!

Great job Huskies and keep up the great work!!!
