“Striking out the last batter for the gold medal at the Pan Americas qualifier with Team USA U15,” she said. “This was a once in a lifetime experience.”
That strikeout didn’t just seal a championship. It confirmed what coaches across the country already knew — Barnes belongs in the national conversation in the Class of 2029.
