On Nov. 5, La Crescenta Thunder 14U girls fastpitch softball team once again was crowned the champions of the 2011 Burbank Fall Ball League Tournament.
After 21 vigorous games in 10 weeks and 31 innings in the play-off games, Thunder successfully shut down eight other teams. The final championship game was a nail biter ending regulation play in a 6-6 tie. This led to an “international tie breaker” and, with neither team showing signs of quitting, Thunder rolled in nine runs in 20 minutes for a decisive victory against Poison (15-9 final score).
