Cincy Flames Tourney Update
FW Cubs 11U Blue struggle to get going during the Cincy Flames tournament. Low run production did not help the cause and led to a 1 - 4 record during the weeks games. Defense and Offense struggled to get anything rolling which led to lots of opportunity to learn and grow as a team and individually as players.
