Got another 7-1 W last night to keep us moving in district! I went 1-4 at the plate, 3-4 on base, with 1 R, and came through with an action-packed night on defense. Next game is this coming Tuesday, and we’re not letting up! @NationalEsparza @KParkSoftball

Had a tough loss last night that broke our 11 game win-streak, and gave us our first loss in district. The only thing we can do now is learn from it and come back stronger. Next game is this coming Tuesday, and we will get the job done. @NationalEsparza @KParkSoftball

Huge win last night to keep our undefeated district streak alive! We were down until the last inning where my teammate hit a walk off home run. Excited for Friday’s game which will break up the current district first place tie we’re in! @NationalEsparza @KParkSoftball
