When 7-year-old Ava Blencke, who has cystic fibrosis, had a flare up and was hospitalized, her West University softball team, the Hurricanes, stepped up to show their support. The girls missed their teammate and made helmet stickers with her name and jersey. Ava was cleared to return the last week and came to practice right before the post-season tournament. Ava’s key base hits helped propel her team all the way and win the freshman championship.
