Rockets Eliminated early in the ASA Nationals

The 12U Rockets finished early in Moline, IL with a 2 -3 record as they took another loss against the Vienna Stars from Virginia. It was a close game that only allowed a total of 2 Stars runners to score but the Rockets couldn't get their bats going in the first half of the game. In the late half Rockets did start a big hitting streak against the Stars however the stars closed the gaps and didn't allow the Rockets to get onto base.

The 12U Rockets will be holding tryouts next week for the core group of 2nd year 12U team members and the 1st year 14U team members. Information can be found in the Tuesday Kansas City Star and the web site http://www.kcfastpitch.net/ Overall the Kansas City competitive team proved to be the best that the Kansas City Metro had to offer with a total of 86 wins and only 26 losses. The Rockets are the 2004 Memorial Day Champions, 2004 Kansas City Metro Champions and the Kansas City 4th of July Champions for ASA Tournaments.
