And A Great Run It Was...Flames Finish 5th In World Series After Loss To Mississippi Blast

Panama City, FL -- July21, 2007

It what could arguably be deemed more impressive than a 2006 3rd Place finish, the 2007 Flames finished tied for 5th in the USFA World Series in Panama City Beach.   Demonstrating the Flames mantra of ATTITUDE, EFFORT , PERFORMANCE ...the Flames represented their team, coaches and parents in a way that all should be proud.   The Flames lost 5-2 but out hit the Blast 9-8 and were led by Meghan Whipple, Erika Hoffner and Scoop Foulke who all collected two singles.   Allie Davis, Kellie Wooden and Jennifer Yancey collected hits also.

Andrea Cole got the nod as starter for the Flames and went 4 innings (5 hits/2 runs) and Scoop Foulke pitched an inning giving up 3 runs on 3 hits.

Panama City, FL -- July20, 2007

Looking to better their 3rd Place finish in the 2006 World Series, the 2007 Flames squad will start play tomorrow as one of only 8 teams  left in the USFA 14-U World Series.  Four undefeated teams will square off against four one-loss teams for the World Series title.  Keeping their chins held high, the Flames said nuh-uh to any elimination thoughts that the Humble TX may have had in mind on their way to a 9-1 route.  

With Kellie Wooden and Scoop Foulke choking the bats of the Cobras the Flames made the most of their six hits.  Leading the parade was Scoop Foulke with a single and a double.   Brittany Van Frayen had a double and Mary Q, Jennifer Yancey and Liz Schneider chipped in with singles.

 

USFA World Series Tournament - Elim Game #4
East Cobb Mad Dogs Bounce Flames Into Loser Bracket With 11-0 Drubbing

Panama City, FL -- July20, 2007

When your error total overshadows your hit total, the outcome is usually predictable.  Unfortunately,  the Flames weren't the exception as they committed 7 errors and could only manage a double by Meghan Whipple and a single by Scoop Foulke.  The Flames look to get that game behind them and move into Gold Bracket Play on Saturday by beating the Humble, TX Cobras Blue under the lights on Friday evening.  

Andrea Cole started for the Flames, went one inning, and was relieved by Cool Whip.

USFA World Series Tournament - Elim Game #2
3-2 Win Over Middle Tennessee Lady Mustangs Puts Flames On "Beach" For Thursday

Panama City, FL -- July18, 2007

Amidst some questionable sportsmanship techniques exhibited by some Mustang fans, the North Fulton gang emerged as 3-2 winners and vaulted themselves to a Thursday "free" day as a result of their 2 win and zero loss elimination round record.    The Flames collected 8 hits while the pitching staff of starter Meghan Whipple and Scoop Foulke got stingy and only gave up 5 hits.

Jennifer Yancey led the way with a double and a single, Scoop Foulke had two singles and Erika Hoffner, Allie Davis, Lara Gartner and Kellie Wooden had singles.

The Flames will sit back on Thursday and get things going again on Friday at 9:00 am.

Flames Whip Tennessee Elite 8-1 in 1st Elim Game 

Panama City, FL -- July18, 2007

The Tennessee Elite team got "Wooden Whippled" by the Flames as the North Fulton pitching duo of Kellie Wooden and Meghan Whipple froze the Elite bats with just 3 hits.   Scoop Foulke did the big damage for the Flames with 2 hits and 2 RBI's.  Mary Quattrocchi had two singles and Brittany Van Frayen and Jennifer Yancey each had singles.  Sometimes just putting the bat on the ball is  beneficial as Liz Schneider illustrated when she came up golden with 3 RBI's without a hit.

Andrea Cole (2 runs) and Foulke (0 runs) shared time on the hill for the Flamatos.

 

USFA World Series Tournament - Pool Game #2 
Rain-shortened Win For Flames 

Panama City, FL -- July16, 2007

An afternoon downpour shortened the Flames 2nd pool game but put it in the books as a 3-1 victory over the Texas-based Missouri City Magic Elite.  With play suspended, the Elite never showed back up for the conclusion and the Flames decided to take on a little "extra work" by playing the  Illinois Downstate Rippers in an inpromptu non-official 2-inning affair.  The North Fulton gang bested them by a 6-2 score.   Leading the way in the "dual-pool" was Cool Whip Whipple with an RBI double.  The Flames added single singles by Scoop Foulke, Mary Quattrocchi (RBI), Liz Schneider  (2RBI), Jennifer Yancey and Brittany Van Frayen (RBI). 

The Flames played errorless ball behind the pitching of Andrea Cole and Whipple.

 

\USFA World Series Tournament - Pool Game #1 
Flames Trip Up Tennessee Xplosion in Pool Debut - Win 2-1 
Panama City, FL -- July16, 2007

A booming,  big 1st inning double by Liz Schneider plated the only two runs the Flames gals would need in their opening day game in the 2007 USFA World Series.   After singles by Erika Hoffner and Jennifer Yancey, Schneider leaned into an outside 1-1 pitch and spanked a one-hopper off the right center fence.  The two runs held up as starter Kellie Wooden (3 innings) and Scoop Foulke kept the Xplosion in check all morning.  Lara  Gartner had a double and Brittany Van Frayen had a single to complete the offense for the Flames.
