Here’s our TLI for Wednesday, October 28, 2020 …
*****
Extra Inning Softball has been going through the 2021 Extra Elite 100 countdown the past two weeks and one of TLI’s favorite 2021s is Sophia Nugent.
The Oklahoma-committed catcher burst on the scene as a freshman at Los Alamitos High, CA, which is coached by Rob Weil. The power-hitting dynamo reminded TLI of another great Los Alamitos catcher — Mary Iakopo, who is currently at Texas.
Nugent, who ended up on Weil and Tony Rico’s Firecrackers team, and Iakopo both have size, tremendous arms and devastating power.
We’ll see where Nugent ends up in the final 2021 Extra Elite 100… For now, enjoy this explosive home run compilation by Nugent!
