Wave win

The team executed impressive double plays, precise tags at all bases, and powerful hits to the outfield, securing a commendable third place in their final fall tournament. Their promising performance has sparked anticipation for the 2024 season. The girls have grown their skills throughout the season and are ready to take to the softball fields for the next season.
