Illinois Stars 18U is looking for a pitching sub for the rest of the summer season. Reach out to head coach Russ Moutrey 815-474-6915 with any interest.

First tournament of the summer ✔️

Team finished 3-2-1 and earned the #1 seed heading into bracket play. One of those weekends where it felt like every hard-hit ball found a defender, but that’s the game.

Happy to get my first home run of the summer season and even happier to be back on the field with this great group of girls. Excited for what’s ahead—we’re just getting started!

A big thank you to the coaches who took time out of their weekend to come watch me play! I truly appreciate your support and interest. 💣🥎

Happy to be back with my team this past weekend in Wisconsin! We ended up going 3-2-1 on the weekend along with getting the first seed in bracket play. Although it didn’t end how we would have liked, great first tournament to start the summer and ready to get back at it in St. Charles, IL on June 25-27! ⭐️

Unfortunately the service wasn’t the greatest where we played..so not much of our clips were videoed but here are a couple clips attached! Very proud of my teammate @rhaya_depaolo for hitting an absolute BOMB 💣 this weekend as well! GO STARS⭐️‼️
