This photo represents two local girls competing within this fastpitch softball tournament @ the Botetourt Sports Complex in Botetourt, VA this past weekend Oct. 17th-18th, 2009. Olivia Cleary of Riner posted a 6-12 .500 batting average that included a 2-run homerun as well as going the distance on the mound for a 9-3 victory over the 16U Maroon Crush. Courtney Cooper of Cave Spring was a guest player who performed well @ the plate with a "hot" bat & good speed in the outfield. The team posted a 6-0 record for the tournament & these girls played hard in such intense weather conditions with wind chills in the 30's throughout the weekend! Olivia Cleary is featured on the bottom row far-right & Courtney Cooper on the top row far-right.
