Softball: Red Rage win Division 11 title

The Red Rage, a girls under-11 fastpitch softball team from the

Pacific Coast Bobby Sox, continued its winning ways by winning the

Division 11 championship Saturday.

In the championship game against the Mayhem Monkeys, the Red Rage

pulled out an 8-4 win. Key hits were provided by Lauren Tolfa and Brook

Peterson.

Throughout the playoffs, the Red Rage had important contributions from

Kate Baldoni, Katy Bekken, Ali Apgar, Adele Debatz, Annabel Farber and

Deanne Donato.

After the Division 11 Tournament, the Red Rage competed in the Bobby

Sox National League Championship Series and again, reached the title

game.

The road to the title game started with a 7-2 win over Bellflower.

Pitchers Rene Mycorn and Elena Redelsheimer combined to allow only two

runs through five innings, while Apgar and Bekken provided key RBI hits.

In the semifinals against Buena Park, the Red Rage prevailed, 6-4.

Mycorn pitched a complete game, while Bekken and Baldoni each came

through offensively.

After playing six games in six days, the Red Rage finally ran out of

gas and lost to Pico Rivera in the championship game, snapping their

23-game winning streak.
