🏆 BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Huge congratulations to Play for Amber, our 2026 Adult Softball City League Champions! 🍾 Following up on last year's victory, they have officially taken the title two years in a row.

This incredible season meant so much more than just a trophy. The entire season was deeply dedicated to the memory of their late coach, Amber Prescott. Her passion, spirit, and love for the game were on full display with every single pitch, hit, and run. We know she is looking down incredibly proud of this team's heart and determination. ❤️🥎

We also want to give a massive shoutout to all of our participating teams this season. Thank you for bringing your best energy, competitive spirit, and sportsmanship to the field every week. You made this season unforgettable!

Finally, a special thank you to Refs R Us for providing top-tier umpire services all season long. We appreciate your dedication to keeping the games fair and running smoothly! 🕶️👏

THE CHAMPIONS WEAR YELLOW & BLACK! ⚡️🏆

The Leesburg Lightning have officially captured their 6th FCSL Championship title, taking down the Sanford River Rats 7-3 in a thrilling Game 3 at Pat Thomas Stadium!

Huge shoutouts to the incredible squad that left everything on the field:

🌟 MVP Performance: Charles Keller went completely unconscious with 3 hits, 2 RBIs, a run scored, and extended his ridiculous on-base streak to 22 games!

⚾ Locked-in Lineup: Andon Gray and Marcelo Cortale set the tempo all night.

🎯 Dominant Pitching: Ben Clenney dealt 5 completely scoreless frames with 5 Ks, and Cody Clymer came out of the bullpen to lock it down in the 9th!

A massive congratulations to Head Manager Rich Billings on reaching his 266th franchise win—what a legendary way to cap off a historic 28-12 season!

Thank you, Lightning Bugs and the entire Leesburg community, for packing "The Pat" and bringing the energy all summer long! We are the CHAMPS! 🥳🥇
