2009 Spring Season Champions: The Fokitas

The Fokitas Smash and Thrash the Bat Girls to Take League Championship

After beating the Calaveritas 8-2 in the Semi-Finals earlier in the day, the Fokitas rolled into the championship game confident playing the # 1 ranked Bat Girls for the Baja Girls Softball League Championship.

From the start, the Fokitas took it hard to the Bat Girls starting with a tight defense led by Pitchers Veronica Fonseca snf Anna Maria Villavincenzio along with notable play from Daniela Hadar Hernandez, Jacqueline Castillo, Alejandra Mendoza, Fernanda Higuera, Esmeralda Magallanes Sandez, Valeria Jasani Vazquez Siraitare, Alma Lizardo, Selina Romero Solis & Martha Orozco. They simply were making plays on the ball shutting down the Bat Girls in the first inning and it continued for 6 straight innings.

At bat, the Fokitas were almost perfect. From the start, they were on fire getting hits from their full line up and creating offensive opportunities on every chance.

By the time the 3rd inning rolled around it was already 8-0 and the Bat Girls simply could not find their way in the batters box. Frustrated, they also began making uncharacteristic unforced errors on defense sealing their fate. The rout was on.

The game ended 15-2 with the Fokitas taking the Championship convincingly with the strongest performance of the year.

The Bat Girls lead by team captain Ana Claudia Lopez Cervantes had a super great season coming in first place during league play. But they met a hot Fokitas team who closed out the season on them strong giving the Bat Girls the 2nd place trophy.

The Calaveritas led by Aileen Gutierrez, Valerie Zamora, and Bianca Morales received the 3rd place finish by beating the Zooritas led by Maria Fernanda Rodriquez and Michelle Coral by a score of 8-6.

The Estrellitas came in 5th while the Panteras came in 6th place.
