🏆 BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Huge congratulations to Play for Amber, our 2026 Adult Softball City League Champions! 🍾 Following up on last year's victory, they have officially taken the title two years in a row.

This incredible season meant so much more than just a trophy. The entire season was deeply dedicated to the memory of their late coach, Amber Prescott. Her passion, spirit, and love for the game were on full display with every single pitch, hit, and run. We know she is looking down incredibly proud of this team's heart and determination. ❤️🥎

We also want to give a massive shoutout to all of our participating teams this season. Thank you for bringing your best energy, competitive spirit, and sportsmanship to the field every week. You made this season unforgettable!

Finally, a special thank you to Refs R Us for providing top-tier umpire services all season long. We appreciate your dedication to keeping the games fair and running smoothly! 🕶️👏
