Summer came to an end yesterday in Cali. We took 3rd place in tier 1 at the Alliance Championships. We had such a great week and I was lucky enough to be named to the All Tournament team for the week. It was the best summer with the BEST girls! I love you all so much💙 pic.twitter.com/uxTM53QF2M

We just finished up the Alliance National Championship in Cali (two weeks ago). We had an amazing run and ended up finishing 3rd overall in the tournament out of around 115 teams.
We played some of the best competition out there and showed what our team was made of. It was, honestly, one of the most fun tournaments I’ve ever played. I ended up having one of my best weeks of the summer. I hit the ball hard all week and ended up having a couple of home runs, one of them being a go-ahead three-run bomb in the biggest game of the week.
I was also lucky enough to be named to the 16u All-Tournament Team for Tier 1. I am super sad we finished up just a little short, but I am also so proud of what we all accomplished this week.
I can’t believe that this summer season has already come to an end. It feels like just the other day we were playing our first tournament together! I am so excited to see what there is to come for this fall and I can’t wait to be on a field again playing with this team!
