Softball World Series

The West University Wave 12U tournament team finished its summer season with a second-place finish at the FASA Class C World Series. The Wave played 10 games in two days, including six games on the final day, before falling one run short in the championship game, 6-5. During the weekend, the Wave outscored their opponents 39 to 13 in regulation play, with shut-down pitching and a balanced offensive attack combining power hitting, tactical small ball, and aggressive base running. Members of the Wave include (top row, from left): coaches  Tami Johnson, Tom Stickler, Scott Richardson, John Howard and Chris Brown; (second row, from left): Lee Stallings, Tristyn Le, Grace Chaney, Cole Johnson and Peyton Howard; (front row, from left): Kaitlyn Nguyen, Peyton Richardson, Meredith Stickler and Grace Brown; not pictured: Julia Sanchez, Carolyn Watts, Megan Frankel and Maya Estrera.
