Coach Chrissy Booe said late Sunday, “Girls took home the Championship today. I am extremely excited about how they are playing. I am most proud of how they have each other’s back. When J was struggling early in the game, Lainey stepped in and had her back. Defense was making great plays and each girl was aggressive. Every girl played for each other today. The confidence is growing and it is contagious. Keep it up Smoke. We have a long road ahead of us!”

10U – Booe takes 2nd in the Battle of the Bats Gold Bracket

10U – Booe girls played hard in the 2017 Battle of the Bats in Fremont, CA. They had been on a two-month break but these girls rallied through and made it to the Gold Bracket Championship.

They went 3-0 in pool play, taking the first place seed entering Sunday’s tournament, where they faced some tough competition. After winning the first game 3-1, they faced an older Alameda Blaze team. One bad inning put them behind 4 runs, but they still ended strong with a couple hard hits. We are so excited by the amount of skill these girls have.

Good job bringing home some hardware in the first fall tournament of 2017, girls!
