Tucson Inferno Blazing Saddles wins Gold in Valencia, Spain!!!

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 12:04:01 GMT

We are proud to report that our Blazing Saddles team won Gold at the Gay Games in Valencia, Spain. With 7 players from Tucson, other players were picked up from all over the country, including Minneapolis, Austin, SoCal, Michigan, and Orlando.

The team went undefeated playing teams from Ireland, and the U.S. Softball isn’t big in the greater world, so there were not a lot of teams from abroad. The Gay Games hosts all sports and is the largest LGBTQ+ sports festival in the world. It is held every 4 years and in 2030, will be in Perth, Australia so start saving your moolah!

Tucson Inferno Pride Softball Team Earns 2nd Place at PS Desert Classic Tournament 2024

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 12:12:07 GMT

What an exciting weekend (Feb 3 and Feb 4) in Palm Springs! And not just the show tunes at Quadz! TIPS was undefeated in the winner’s bracket of the Open E division going into the championship game, an amazing position to be in! Alas, TIPS couldn’t hold out against the tough offense and defense of the Los Angeles Pitones and lost the “if” game in the 7th inning by 1 run. We are so happy with our showing and the great attitudes, rocking plays, and awesome hits.
