From the sidelines: Sofia is an amazing teammate and a very important part of our team. She fills multiple positions and always steps up when we need her, with a smile on her face. She has started in 3 different positions this season, and she hit her second home run of the season last week at Mount Rainier. She has one of the top batting averages on our team. She is an all-around great athlete, we are so proud of her and can’t wait to see how she finishes the season!
