RWC Wicked 10UC softball team takes championship!

The Redwood City 10C Wicked Softball Team continues to perform well!  The girls participated in the first annual Hot August Nights tournament sponsored by the Castro Valley Synergy the weekend of Aug. 6-7.  They made it to the championship game and won!

"Our team played great!  The girls were fantastic, defensively they played awesome, they ran the bases well, they hit the ball well" said Coach Riad Agel.   

The Redwood City Softball League continues to help young girls develop into great softball players and teammates under the guidance of parent volunteers.  See http://rcgsl.org/index.html for more info. 

For you softball fans out there, here are some details from the tournament.

Wicked seeded 3rd after going 1-2 in Saturday's pool play.  They played San Lorenzo Heat (2nd seed) first on Sunday and beat them 9-5.  Alexandra Siri went 2-2 w/3 RBIs & a 2B & scored 2 runs; Adrianna Aranda & Kaia Anderson both also scored 2 runs, and Juliana Rodriguez went 2-3 w/a single, 2B, run scored & 1 RBI.  They then played Alameda Blaze in the championship game, who seeded 4th going into the playoffs (they beat the host CV Synergy in their semi-final).  The game went back-and-forth with the Blaze taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st; they came back & tied it in the bottom half then had a 6-2 lead after 3; Alameda came back w/5 runs in the 4th and took the lead 7-6; RWC Wicked tied it in the 5th inning then took the lead with 2 runs in the bottom of the 6th.  Wicked then shut down the Blaze in the top of the 7th 3-up, 3-down to take the 9-7 victory!!!!  Ashley Agel struck out 8 in this game for a total of 12 on Sunday over both games (22 strike outs for 4 games over the weekend).  Juliana Rodriguez went 3-4 w/2 singles & a 2B (which brought in Devon Sheehan for the go-ahead/winning run) & 2 runs scored; Natalie Galindo went 2-4 w/2 runs scored; and Alexandra Siri again had 3 RBIs in the championship game. 

"It was definitely a learning experience.  We started slow a little bit, we got our feet wet, and we picked it up pretty good at the end.  We finished really, really strong" said Coach Riad Agel.

Way to go Redwood City Wicked 10UC!  Keep up the great work.
