Carmichael Girls Softball Team Wins Norcal Tournament

The 12 and under team of the Carmichael Girls Softball league won the Northern California tournament this past weekend, league officials announced.

The Carmichael team defeated Rocklin 8-5 in Elk Grove on Sunday, said Bill Enos, the league president and coach of the 12u team.

"It was a great life lesson for the girls because we had set a goal," said Enos, whose daughter Natalie pitches and plays third base on the team. "The team practices four days a week so this shows that persistence paid off."

The Carmichael girls turned three double-plays in the game, Enos said. Cierra McClain was the starting pitcher.

The 12u team finished with 20 wins and two losses to teams from Amador and Berkeley.

The Carmichael Girls Softball league plays home games at Carmichael Park. There are more than 250 girls who play in the spring league that runs from March to May each year.

Sign ups are under way now through July 31 for the fall league that runs from late August to November with three teams.

Please leave some words of congratulations for the girls in the comments section below.
