After a grueling, two-hour-plus battle, the Crush Nelson-Beaver 14U team emerged victorious over the Firecrackers/Chavez 14U team with a walk-off 5-4 win. The intense game, part of the AFA September Slugfest Nationals Qualifier, was marked by multiple stops in play for rules clarifications. It took two rounds of International Tie-Breaker rules to determine a winner, with Mia Gomez ultimately driving in the championship-clinching run for Crush. 

The Crush Easton Demo Night at the "Crush House" was a massive success, with all of the Crush Softball teams and their families showing up for a huge turnout. Easton had an amazing selection of bats and gloves for everyone to try (and buy at a sweet discount!). Players got their official profile pictures taken, and the Nelson-Beaver team absolutely crushed it with the taco station. Add in the custom hat station along with Crush swag, and you've got the perfect recipe for great fun and team bonding. 

The Crush-Beaver Organization is coming off a very successful tryout season. Some Crush teams kept their core players while new teams drafted players. A couple of new Crush teams came over from other organizations.
