Meet Brian the nicest Panera owner last night! He asked if I had hit any home runs this tournament and I proudly said I had. So he came round the counter for a picture and gave me a scone! Will definitely be back to this Panera!!

What a great week in Myrtle Beach!! 🏝️ I mean it rained like everyday and softball games were wet! Yet we had an awesome time as a team! Team dinners, ocean swimming, go-carts, everyday outfield drills on the beach with glow-in the dark balls, and morning runs on beach.
What an exciting experience this last week has been! Tied for 5th out of 84teams at the PGF National Tournament in California! Thanks to the parents and coaches for making this a great finish to the season. To my teammates you are all the best!

Well our ride home from PGF Cali had a slight delay with a flat tire in Provo UT, but this nice man helped us out. Once we got a new tire we were quickly on our way to Cheyenne WY. Made it in time for the concert! Today we hit the rodeo, now 13Hr to home!

Super proud of my
@lightning_2025
team!! We all did great at our first 16U tournament. We earned a bid to the PGF Queen of the Hill Championship in IN. Team 6/0 - Scored 55 - allowed 10. I had 4Singles, 2Doubles, 5Walks and a bunch of defensive plays at center & right.
Cool weekend watching a lot of my favorite teams and players on ESPN+! Cool to see some of my sisters old teammates on tv and players I have met at camps! Wish all games were on TV. Wishing everyone an awesome season.
