Rain was the ultimate winner, but two of three Robinson Dynamite travel softball teams still managed to end their seasons on positive notes at rain-shortened tournaments over the weekend.

Three teams – 12-under, 10-under, 8-under – all participated in the USSSA Future Stars Tournament in Jasper, Ind., over the weekend and came away with mixed results.

The 10-under team fared the best, as they won all three of their games and were declared champions of their bracket after the remainder of the tournament was washed out.

Dynamite opened with a 7-2 win over Indiana Elite Saturday, then later scored a 5-4 win over Kentucky Lightning.

Against Indiana Elite, the score was tied 1-1 after one inning and 2-2 after two, but Dynamite exploded for five runs in the bottom of the third to pull away for the win.

Brina Opat led Dynamite with an inside-the-park home run, three runs batted in and two runs scored, while Avery Ackman singled, knocked in a run and scored a run, Avah Myers singled and scored a run, Ava Winterrowd added a base hit and Tenley Pinnell, Elie Schutte and Atlee Deckard each scored a run.

Myers was credited with the win in relief, allowing one hit and striking out four in one and one-third scoreless innings of work. Pinnell started and went one and two-thirds innings, giving up two runs on two hits with four walks and three strikeouts.

Against Kentucky Lightning, Dynamite jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one inning of play and led 5-2 after two, but had to hold on, as Lightning rallied for two runs in the third before Dynamite was able to close the door.

Pinnell led Dynamite at the plate with a single, a run batted in and a run scored, while Myers singled and knocked in a run. Ackman and Stella Trotter added a base hit and a run scored apiece, Madilyn Schaefer drove in a run and Opat and Schutte each scored a run.

Myers was the winning pitcher, allowing four runs on one hit, while walking six and striking out seven in three innings of work.

On Sunday, Dynamite rolled to a 12-0 win over a different Indiana Elite team to complete pool play. Dynamite scored three runs in the first inning to open the scoring, then broke through for eight runs in the second inning for an 11-0 advantage and added a run in the third to end the game via the mercy rule.

Pinnell was the winning pitcher, allowing one walk and striking out six in three hitless innings of work.

The final four games of pool play and bracket play were cancelled due to rain, but Dynamite was awarded the championship by virtue posting the best record of any of the 11 teams in the field.

Dynamite ended the season with a 33-12-1 record.

In the 12-under tournament, Dynamite went 1-1-1 in their three games before rain halted the tournament on Sunday.

Olivia Chiasson pitched all four innings, allowing four runs on five hits and striking out three.

Against Powerhouse, Dynamite struck first with a run in the top of the second, only for Powerhouse to score a run of their own in the bottom of the inning. Dynamite regained the lead with two runs in the top of the third, only for Powerhouse to score five in their half of the inning to take a 6-3 lead. Dynamite rallied for a run in the fourth, but it was not enough.
