Grand Island Vipers 12u Game 2 - Jan. 2012
Week two didn't go as smoothly as week one for the Vipers 12U as they ran into an Amherst Lightining team that was much more experienced. Claire Brandon had an excellent game at shortstop and kept the Lightining from getting runners on base when the ball was hit her way, but it wasn't enough as the Lightining won 12-0. The 12u Vipers (team Federico) are now 1-1 on the season and will be playing the Rochester Lady Lions. The Vipers hope you continue to follow their season at Sahlens and in weeks to come you will be introduced to the whole team.
