The final weekend of April brought a pair of highly anticipated youth softball tournaments to the Indianapolis area as the NSA Girls Fast Pitch and USSSA April Sports Jam events took place at Midwest Sports Complex and BGSL Park, respectively.
NSA Girls Fast Pitch @ Midwest
In the 10-and-Under event at Midwest, Carmel Sting exited pool play as the No. 1 seed after being the only undefeated team. That perfection was soon erased, however, by Center Grove Xplosion in a 9-3 victory in the double-elimination round. (Xplosion had advanced by pounding Rampage 11-3.) But the Sting came back to beat Xplosion 11-1, setting up an if-necessary clash for the crown. The finale was very competitive with Carmel scoring two runs late and holding on to finish the deal with an 8-6 win.
