Congratulations to Lightning 18U's Shane Darnall, who threw a complete-game no-hitter today at the Cheyenne Post 6 Mark Robért Classic at Powers Field in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Shane needed just 89 pitches to finish the job.
Congratulations to Shane, his teammates, and the coaches who have been part of his journey. These are the moments that make all the early mornings, long practices, and countless hours of work worth it.
We’re proud of you, @darnallshane. ⚡️

This weekend, Lightning 18U competed at the 46th Annual Tony Andenucio Tournament (aka "The 'Nuch") in Pueblo. The boys played well, finished 4-2 on the weekend, and represented The Lightning Way. ⚡ More importantly, they continue to grow as a team and were recognized for the work they've put in along the way, receiving the Most Improved Team award. For a program built around "Get Better With Us," that's a meaningful honor. Congratulations to Jackson Lockett on being named to the All-Tournament Team as well! We are so proud of all of you. Keep working. Lightning Baseball, Baseball, Summer Ball, Colorado BaseballButton -
![Baseball Means Family ⚡ Yesterday, 11U Tucker reminded us what that means.
Tanner's 7 year-old cousin, Xander, was the bat boy for the game. Before first pitch, the team made sure he was included in their pre-game prayer. After the win, they made sure he was part of the post-game meeting, too.
So neat to see how this group of boys included Xander without ANY prompting. Proud of this team!
