Pleasanton Phantom 12B Opens Summer Season With First Place Finish!

It was a great weekend for Pleasanton Phantom 12B! We played in the Memorial Weekend Kickoff Tournament in Livermore and thanks to our coaches, Mike Williams, Jenny Williams and Kristen Ho-Tseung, and phenomenal ball players, we took home the first place trophies!

On Saturday, we had three games and scored a total of 45 earned runs! Our “Triple Threat Pitching” (Jenna O’Neal #6, Jessica O’Neal #9 and Danielle Williams #00) allowed only five runs. There were many big hits that went all the way to the fence and one infield home run hit by Shelby Cabral #45.

On Sunday, the competition was much more difficult.  Every game was a pitching duel, but once again, our “Triple Threat Pitching” came through!
