Rhode Island Thunder Gold 16U National 2023 OF Hannah Greer makes the catch deep down the right-field line, then guns down the runner tagging from first for the ole 9-6 DP at the Veterans Tribute Showcase.

According to Hotshots Premier 14U-Esparza 2024 Kadence Williams, who happens to be a pitcher, this homer at the Gold Cup is her first OTF home run. TLI will do some investigating because that cannot possibly be true. That bomb was launched into the darkness and was never recovered.
First over the fence homerun. I needed this since I gave up 1 in the first inning but I did come back and hit this plus finished the game throwing 12Ks after giving up the HR. #pitchershitbombs @Los_Stuff @ExtraInningSB @PGFnetwork pic.twitter.com/nIDaP9GJOA
