THE LITTE ENGINE THAT COULD CONQUEERS THE TOP POWERS

On August 29, the new team from a little town just outside of Ensenada Mexico, conqueered the Baja Softball world beating the Tijuana Cobritas in the finals at the City of Tijuana Softball Cup Tournament.

Led by the outstanding play of MVP Pitcher Aileen Gutierrez and 2nd Pitcher Maria Fernanda Martinez Ybarrola, the Uvitas dominated the Cobritas in the final game 5 runs to 1.

“Aileen simply shut them down with her relentless pitching” said Head Coach Charles Tawil. “She was throwing massive heat and their hitters simply could not get the bat around fast enough to connect.

To start off the Offense, Maria Fernanda Martinez Ybarrola hit an out of the park home run which set the tone for a strong offensive day for the team from little El Sauzal.

To get to the finals, the team faced the Cobritas in the first round, a game that went to double overtime with 2 extra innings ending in a tie 5 runs to 5. “It was brutal” said Assistant Coach Randy Bowser, “The kids on both sides would not capitulate. It definitely set the tone for what would be a finals game later in the tournament”

In the other qualifing game, the Uvitas defeated the Tijuana Yankees 6 runs to 1.
