The OC Firecrackers ‘05 softball team, whose core is comprised of the 2015 Los Alamitos Gold All Stars, has continued their strong showing at tournaments around Southern California with a big win over the Mother’s Day weekend. The team grinded out the wins, to be crowned champions of the Corona Angels Mother’s Day Classic.
The team went undefeated in all seven games, outscoring their opponents 69-13. Their pitching dominated with four no-hitters and three shutouts, and their hitting was overpowering. Even though the team lost key players to injury and the competition fierce, the girls showed up determined to win and beat some of Southern California’s top teams. Through their recent success, the OC Firecrackers have qualified for both the TCS World Series and the PGF nationals this summer.
The team ended 2015 as champions of the OC Batbusters Christmas Tournament. They started 2016 with a trip to the championship game at the Triple Crown Sports OC Coastal Classic and then moved on to win the Cal A’s Diamond Elite Valentines Day tournament in February.
