💣🥎 BOOM. Whitney Strickland Goes YARD. 🥎💣 Whitney Strickland (2030) launched her first Over-the-Fence (OTF) home run of her softball career this weekend in Bettendorf, Iowa — and she did it in style. Trailing 2–0 in the 2nd inning, Whitney crushed a 2-RBI blast that shifted the momentum and powered Illinois Wave 2029–Rodriguez (13U/14U) 🌊 to a 5–4 pool play victory over Esprit Metro 2030 at the President’s Day Slugfest. The ball was hit so hard it cleared the fence and landed on the next field. 🚀 First OTF. Clutch moment. Big-time swing. Keep riding the Wave, Whit. 🌊💙 #IllinoisWave #WeNotMe #OTFBomb #PresidentsDaySlugfest #NoExcuses
