FloSoftball is here streaming all the games and covering the event as we move towards Sunday’s championship games. If you have any info or questions, e-mail brentt.eads@flosports.tv
BOLTS BEAT UP ANOTHER OPPONENT, ON TO FINAL
From the beginning of the week at the DeMarini Invitational Showcase, it was evident that the Birmingham Thunderbolt Premier bats were alive, even without standout catcher Reagan Dykes (2015, Alabama), who’s at home rehabbing a shoulder injury that keeps her from catching, but not hitting (she’ll be at the PGF Nationals).
The Thunderbolts have also benefitted by having two pitchers stand up tall in the absence of normal starters Madi Moore (2015, Alabama) and T Statman (2015, Arizona), not to mention Adrea Kindrick (2015, Alabama) who pitched great in the fall, but is out for the summer after surgery for a nerve in her pitching arm, although she should be back for the fall with the Tide.
The Bolts have picked up without their stars and haven’t missed a beat, beating up on teams with power bats from Libby Sugg (2015, BYU) and Madi “Duck” Bishop (2015, Oregon), defense from infielders Elissa Brown (2016, Alabama) and Morgan Nelson (2015, Northwestern).
But the MVPs of the team may be the pair of pitchers who have shined this week: Giselle Juarez (2016, Fresno State) and uncommitted 2017 McKenna Gillespie who’s the discovery of the week.
In the semifinal over the Illinois Chill, a tight 2-0 lead most of the game until the Bolts blew it open with four in the seventh. Gillespie allowed only one hit in the complete game win for the Bolts.
“We’re playing well,” said coach Rocky Thompson after the game. “Our pitchers are keeping the ball down and we’re having the discipline on both sides to make it work. The difference in the final will be who has the confidence and wants it the most.”
The offense was parked by Sugg, who went 2-for-4 with a double and Bishop, who hit a two run homer to put the game out of reach in the last inning.
Now, it’s on to the finals to see if the offensive onslaught continues and the pitching continues to be up to the task…
IT’S TOTAL CHAOS AT DEMARINI…
The talent in the DeMarini Invitational Showcase is such that any number of teams could have won it, but the favorite going in was the Beverly Bandits-Conroy team, which won the Boulder IDT.
However, the always-dangerous Rhode Island Thunder knocked off the Bandits in the quarterfinals, so it looked like the Thunder would be the favorite, right?
Well, not so fast… the St. Louis Chaos, which has a nice balance of pitching, defense, and power bats, exploded for seven runs in first inning to cruise to 9-0 five-inning win over the Thunder in one semi-final.
The star of the game was obvious—2015 pitcher/infielder Danielle Baumgartner who is headed to Missouri.
Danielle pitched a no-hitter while recording two strikeouts. At the plate she went 2-for-3 with four RBI, all coming on a grand slam.
She says she didn’t know she had pitched a no-hitter saying, “It wasn’t my best day, but my change-up was working so I guess that’s what did it.”
When asked if she was more proud of the no-hitter or the grand slam she answered, “the no-hitter.”
Perhaps the pitching accomplishment stood out because she had offense to spare.
Evan Beatty’s team had 12 hits to bring in the nine runs and turn the St. Louis team’s attention to the title game.
Coach Beatty talked in private to pitcher Maddie Seifert on the field after the win and wasn’t hesitant to reveal what he said.
“I asked her, ‘Do you want it?’” he explained about his conversation, “and she said, ‘You know me.’”

CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY
Rain came in late Saturday noon and it’s been overcast, but refreshingly cool, since then and weather permitting a champion will be crowned Sunday at the DeMarini Invitational Showcase.
Saturday night, two of the teams that will make the Elite 8 were decided.
In one game, the Beverly Bandits Tyrrell team, led by pitcher Lauren Rice (2017, Missouri) and her 67 mph speed, stopped another good Bandits team in the 16U DeMarini squad which had a star pitcher of its own in Michigan-bound Meghan Beaubien, also a 2017 prospect.
In the other, the powerful bats and great speed of the Birmingham Thunderbolts prevailed over the young Bandits DeMarini team. BYU signee Libby Sugg slugged a home run, Madi Bishop was hitting bombs as well and Auburn-bound Kendall Veach smashed the ball all over the place.
Sunday morning starting at 8 am CST the other sports for the Elite 8 are being decided and the four games with the victors will start at 9:45 am.
At 11:30 am the quarters kick off and the title match is slated at 1:15 pm.
That is, if Mother Nature, is kind and allows us to get in some great softball.
ONE AND DONE FOR ALL-AMERICAN
You have to love the dedication of Alex Sobczak, the All-American third baseman from Michigan who plays for the Finesse.
She and her father, John, showed up early Saturday morning, after working all week with the Michigan Wolverine strength and conditioning staff, to play for the Finesse in the first bracket game.
Unfortunately for her, the Finesse faced a buzzsaw in the Bolts from Alabama and lost, but Alex did her part, hitting a two-run home run and a single.
We’ll have some more big news this week on Alex so stay tuned!
FUTURE SUPERSTAR
When we get to doing the 2019 Hot 100 in the not-too-distant future, one of the top 10 players will be Julia Cottrill, the outstanding catcher for the Wichita Mustangs 16U team coached by her father, Jeff.
Julia also plays for Mark Griggs’ 18U Gold team and could probably play at the college level, she’s so good at such a young age. She could commit today to just about every major college in the country, but it’ll probably be another year til she pulls the trigger… there’s simply no rush as any school will take her on her timetable.
Last night, in a scoreless game, Julia hit a double to the fence for a walk-off win to help her Mustangs team beat another Mustangs team, the Tampa Mustangs – TJ team which has played very well this week.
Every time you watch Julia, be it at the plate or behind the plate at catcher, she’s doing something that makes you say “Wow.”
PITCHER TO WATCH
With its top two pitchers shelved for the tournament (Madi Moore and T Statman), the Birmingham Thunderbolts have relied on Giselle Juarez (2016, Fresno State) and relatively unknown McKenna Gillespie, a 2017 pitcher from Opelika, Ala.
McKenna is a 2017 who was brought up from Ryan Greenwood’s Bolts team and she and Juarez have impressed.
Gillespie is uncommitted, but expect that to change as she’s really been strong and has opened up a lot of guys. Perhaps more than anyone else in the tournament, she has boosted her recruiting stock.
