The biggest thunderstorm of the year rolled into Central Texas to cap off a grueling weekend for NAO's Blue Thunder. With lightning off in the distance, the A-Town girls decisively closed out the visiting Manor Mustangs behind solid pitching from Cheyenne and Ciera, and a couple fine plays at third base from Alejandra, finishing out a stretch of five games over three days with a record of 3-2.
Saturday started early as the Cholas De Azul caravan bumped up Highway 183 into Cedar Park for the Cinco de Mayo tourney. The outfield corps that included Gracie and Anna made sure that the other team wasn't going to have it easy. Solid base running from Alyssa P. and crew run maxed the Mustangs 12-5 boosted by Kimberley's base clearing triple off an outrageously high fastball. 
The road show then continued north to Georgetown where the girls fought hard especially at the plate but came up a little short losing 6-5. The defense shined, especially Sarah, who's backing up the pitcher helped as much as her vocal leadership from the dugout.
By the time the Blue Thunder returned for their second tournament game in Cedar Park the thermometer read 95 degrees and the familial entourage was beginning to wilt. Thunder bats however caught fire. Things looked good in the first, as the top of the order maxed on runs and set up pitcher Jordyn with a comfortable lead. The host team from Cedar Park had other plans though and they stayed with the Thunder every step of the way. The battle heated up in the next inning highlighted by a dropped third strike triple from Keyahna, who subsequently scored, stealing home on the next pitch.
