As the Lafayatte-Moraga Youth Association softball season came to an end, one team in particular had a lot to be proud of. The Oregon Ducks recorded an undefeated season. The combination of second and third grade girls from Burton Valley Elementary School was coached by Fia Parker and Flora Pinella.
The Ducks closed out the regular season on June 6 with a decisive 25-19 win over the Washington Huskies. The victory reflected their dominant season as the Ducks averaged 24 runs per game. In one game the team recorded a triple play and two double plays. The strong offensive team was not lacking on the defensive end as they managed to hold opponents to an average of nine runs per game.
"This was a very special group of girls, and they were able to experience a magical season together. They worked hard during every practice and played hard during every game. The parental support was incredible, and all of the girls had a lot fun playing together. They were truly a pleasure to coach and it was wonderful to watch how much they challenged and supported each other throughout the season," said head coach Fia Parker.
