Indiana Mustangs Off To A Strong Start

RoundTripper’s in house team, the Indiana Mustangs is continuing their strong start to the spring and summer season! Three teams were able to bring home championship hardware this past weekend to build upon the organization’s success! The 10u Red, 12u Red, and 13u Blue teams each won their respective tournaments in and out of state!

The 10u Red team played locally in the Indy 500 Start Your Engines tournament in Noblesville, where they finished a rain shortened tournament with a 3-1 record.  The pitching staff lead the way for the Mustangs, striking out 23 batters over the course of the tournament, while the Mustang bats got hot at the right times.  The 10u Red pulled out multiple come from behind victories over the weekend to catapult them to the championship!

The 12u Red won their second tournament in a row over the weekend at the USSSA Summer Slam at Midwest Sports Complex.  Both the offense and defense were clicking through their first 3 games for the Mustangs, outscoring their opponents 23-0.  The combination of Will Heldt, Jake Griffin, and Jake Hooker lead a Mustang pitching staff who shutout their opponents.  This championship came on the heels of their USSSA Indy Festival Super NIT championship the weekend before.  The 12u Red owns a 24-6 record after their most recent tournament and look to continue their success throughout the summer!

Branson, Missouri was host to the 13u Blue over the weekend as the team participated in the Armed Forces Day Classic wood bat tournament.  The Mustangs went undefeated on the weekend behind a strong defensive effort, committing only 2 errors during the tournament.  The 13u Blue were able to pull out a 2-1 win over the Fulton Hornets Baseball Club in an extra inning affair to win the championship.  The game was scoreless going in to the 9th inning behind strong pitching performances from both teams, before the Mustangs were able to scratch out 2 runs and hold on for the championship!
