Jordynn Hernandez – Pink Ladies
This week Jordynn had an outstanding week at the plate, going 3 for 7 with 1 RBI. In the circle, she was top notch. This week she pitched 26 outs and her stats are amazing. She had 15 strikeouts, 1 walk, and only 1 earned run. On top of the all-star performance J-Bird is a great teammate, leading the team both on the field and off. Picking up her teammates and helping them get better. She is a captain and a pleasure to coach.

Sofia Quigley –Decepticons
Sofia has been a constant in the circle all season and this week was no different. Her strikeouts just keep piling up and her field awareness is there to match which she showed as she threw the ball to third on a pick-off play getting the out on a slow to return runner. She also added a monster shot to the fence Saturday getting her a 3 run Home Run. Keep it up Sofia!

Audrey Melton – HoneyBadgers
Audrey continues to perform week after week. This week Audrey went 5 for 5 with a walk at the plate. She had 3 doubles, 2 singles, and scored 5 times while racking up 4 RBIs. She also managed to get 5 stolen bases. In the field Audrey played a flawless first base. She was even asked to play right field and made and outstanding throw to home to stop a runner at 3rd base. Pitching this week Audrey led her team to a win while only allowing one hit and no walks, striking out 5. Great Job Audrey!

Hannah Escobedo –Sin City Saints
Hannah went 4 for 4 in our 2 games this week with 2 base hits and 2 doubles to the fence. Besides her amazing offense, Hannah’s defense was perfect this week. She made not only incredibly athletic plays at 1st base but also has an extremely high softball IQ. Knowing instinctively how and where the ball should go in any defensive scenario. Hannah had one particular jaw dropping out that neither our coaching staff nor the opposing team’s staff know how she kept the ball off the ground and in her glove.
14U
Rhiannon Noble – LV Force
16/18U
Alexis Payne – Firebirds
On the field, Alexis was solid at shortstop with plenty of assists; she was also extremely supportive of her teammates. I am sure everyone in the park could hear her as she cheered her teammates on. Great job Alexis!!
