Since mid-May both girls have been full tilt with Allstar Softball. It is basically all we have done for the last two months. Practices during the week and multiple games on the weekend.
Ellie's team, the Lightning, has had an impressive run. Over the the July 4th weekend they came in 2nd place (out of 37 teams) in the Southern California State tournament, which is really impressive. Prior to that they placed 2nd (out of 13 teams) in their District tournament.
In the open tournaments leading up to Districts and States they placed 2nd in the Rancho Roundup tournament, 2nd in Placentia Yorba Linda tournament, and 1st place in the Irvine tournament.
They have a 23 and 8 record to date. Ellie has become a bit of a utility player getting time at 3rd, outfield (CF, RF), and occasionally SS.
It has been a joy watching Ellie play.
2nd Place in Rancho Round-up Tournament (May 22)
First place in Irvine tournament (not pictured - sat out due to having Covid - June 12)
2nd place - Districts (Enders Elementary Garden Grove - June 19)
2nd place - Southern CA States (Lancaster CA, July 3)
Nobody can remember the last time a team from Aliso placed 2nd in the State Tournament. Because we placed in the top 6 we get a automatic bid into the Western National Tournament at the end of July in Corona CA!!
