Practice being angry, you’ll be good at being angry.
Practice being negative, you’ll be good at being negative.
Practice being calm, you’ll be good at being at calm.
Practice being positive, you’ll be good at being positive.

Practice thoughts that make you better.

We have another 🔥 that’s entered the HS 100-hit club for her career. Congratulations, Lucy Laudeman! Here’s a throwback photo of Lucy holding a home run ball that sent the Flames to the final 8 at Nationals.

Our @annie_katuska31 signed her letter of intent today to become a member of the @Amherst_SBall program. Amherst is getting an exceptional person, student & player. Congrats! Thrilled Coach Laudeman was able to join you today! Annie has blazed a trail for our younger Flames! 🔥💪

Grace has now advanced to National Merit FINALIST standing! Congratulations, Grace!

The first-ever Flames Fastpitch team has freshmen at college now & current seniors in HS, the latter of which are wrapping up their careers as Flames. It’s exciting to see their successes. Congrats to Grace, the standard to which all Flames catchers aspire, for such an honor!

The 18u Flames showed some resilience today. Battled through some challenges to go 2-1 in bracket play. We get to keep playing tomorrow.

Annie, Lucy and Carly all hit HRs today. Carly’s 💣 in our last bracket game was a no-doubter that turned the game! #FlamesRising

Another day, another bomb for @annie_katuska31! Annie is playing at a high-level in all facets of the game! That’s three home runs in two days!

[Cincy Flames Fastpitch @FlamesCincy]

Shout-out to @vivian_johns18, @MiaAnderson1464 & Lucy Laudeman for being chaos coordinators on the base paths tonight. We take pride in our base-running and these three set the tone today. Game-changing speed and constant pressure!

[Cincy Flames Fastpitch @FlamesCincy]

One of the hardest hit balls I’ve seen hit. This was the second of 2 homers @annie_katuska31 hit tonight in a Flames win. Annie understands how teams are trying to pitch her as evidenced by her hitting a changeup for a HR earlier in the game & then this one following a changeup.

[Cincy Flames Fastpitch @FlamesCincy]

Congrats to the 14u Flames for winning their tournament this weekend! This team is playing really well in all phases of the game.

Excited about our 3 teams, the commitment level of each player in our organization, & our culture.

We’re seeking to expand to 4 teams this fall!

[Cincy Flames Fastpitch @FlamesCincy]

Our 14u Flames opened pool play with a 3-0 win tonight. We’re proud of our teams’ and players’ commitment and sustained development in the areas of team defense, pitching, and catching. It’s an exciting time to be a 🔥!#FlamesRising

[Cincy Flames Fastpitch @FlamesCincy]

Rain kept us from competing for a championship in OKC, but it was still a memorable trip for the 18u Flames. Unfortunately, rain kept our other Flames Fastpitch teams from bracket play as well back home. Stay tuned for more Flames Fastpitch updates from our teams! #FlamesRising
