On offense, Midland Valley dominated with 10 hits, led by Bailey Seabolt’s perfect 4-for-4 at-bat. Other players like Haley Thornsberry, Addison Haltiwanger, Jordan Nelson, and Anslee Heath also contributed with hits and RBIs.
Despite facing elimination, Midland Valley rallied back from setbacks to secure crucial victories. Their resilient performance was evident in their ability to perform under pressure and advance in the tournament. As they continued their journey towards victory, it was clear that the Mustangs were poised to face whatever challenges came their way with confidence and determination.
