HB Xtreme move on to State Qualifier

A long weekend of fast-pitch softball ended on a high note for the

Huntington Beach Girls Softball 12-and-under team as they earned an

invitation to the upcoming State Qualifier.

The state tournament will take place over the Fourth of July weekend

in Vista.

The Xtreme began the weekend at the Central District Tournament held

in Anaheim Hills with an 8-0 victory against Mission Hills.

In the first game on Saturday, the Xtreme pulled away from Mission

D-Oro in the bottom of the fourth inning and went on to record an 11-4

win. They came back later that afternoon to face a tough Los Alamitos

squad.

The teams were deadlocked at 8-8 through seven innings of regulation

play, and Los Alamitos went on to win 11-9 in an international

tiebreaker.

The Xtreme bounced back from that loss to defeat a solid Tustin team,

10-4, despite falling behind early, 4-2.

On Sunday they fell to Orange Villa Park, 4-3.

HB Xtreme is comprised of Tara Barbish, Heidi Chappell, Erica

Congelliere, Kellie Cuadras, Lauren Fukuzawa, Clarissa Holz, Katherine

Kent, Brenna Klein, Cristina Kuehn, Mariah Nogueira, Allyson Nunez,

Rebecca Sass and Catherine Wakeman.
