National Club Team of the Week:
* Nick Gregory’s Tennessee Mojo – 2025 team went 6-0 last week in the Colorado Sparkler Power Pool and, in the televised championship game against the Birmingham Thunderbolts – Kemp team, won it 7-2.
In the victory, pitcher Ada Little threw a complete seven-inning win while striking out 13 and hitters Lily Livingston and Karley Moreland each homered in the win which Coach Gregory described as a “Great team win in front of hundereds of college coaches.”
The pitching staff was stellar and had 72 strikeouts in total while the defense turned seven double plays, the catchers nailed five runners trying to steal and also got a back pick.
The offensive was powered by home run hitters Lily Livingston (three long balls), Karley Moreland (2) while Jade Carnahan, Carly Potts and Katie Gillott each smacked one home run.
* Ada Little, a 2025 pitcher, was dominant in the circle all week at the Colorado Sparkler.
She collected 47 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched including 13 K’s in the Power Pool championship game.
