Adelaide’s American Freedom CTX 12U fastpitch fall season came to an end in early December but she was asked by the 14U Wolfpack CTX team to play with them in a tournament in Gatesville. She’s played up in age for a while & knows many of the older girls so she was definitely willing & not afraid. Her older former teammates always treat her well & she loves them, so it’s easy to say yes. The gig was only for one day because Ads had her 12th bday slumber party planned back at home that night. The girls played great & went 2-2 in 4 back-to-back games on Saturday. Ads got to pitch, & play SS, 2nd, & LF. At pitcher she started 2 games, pitched 2.1 innings, struck out 3, walked 2, threw 59% strikes, got one win, & fielded her position perfectly. She had to be relieved both games, but one was a save situation.
The players on the team treated Ads very well, speaking volumes for their character. They even gathered around & sang happy birthday to her, so obviously it was a great experience! She also really enjoyed seeing Avery hit an over-the-fence homerun!!! Thank you Coach Joe, Merranda, Myra, Jackie, & the rest of the team!! We’re looking forward to seeing y’all again.
Anyone searching for a competitive 14U fastpitch team with a great group of girls & a quality coach in the central Texas area of Belton, Temple, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Salado, & nearby, I absolutely recommend Wolfpack CTX. I’ve known Coach Joe & Merranda for a while now & have coached together with them. They’re good people, & Adelaide & I love their daughter, Myra, who is a great player. Check them out.
Special thanks to Ruby Sunshine with Moments in the Sun CTX Photography for the awesome photography!!! Check her out, too!
