At the Top Gun Gateway Showcase @jalc_softball commit @EnglishLauren3 showed off her versatility on D, playing excellent 3B and CF as well as highlighting her speed on offense. Next up - Top Gun in Mattoon

[Flame Elite Midwest @FlameElite18U]

Collecting RBIs while driving the ball all over (and out of) the yard at the Top Gun Gateway Showcase, @narmstrong413 showed why @land_softball signed her...she also pitched a great game too. Next stop - Mattoon for the Top Gun event.

[Flame Elite Midwest @FlameElite18U]

Special thanks to @MorganMacam2026 for subbing in at the Top Gun Gateway Showcase. Fans of @DePauwSoftball should be very excited!

[Flame Elite Midwest @FlameElite18U]

CF was fully covered by @engel_ryley26 at the Top Gun Gateway Showcase. The @SWICSoftball commit cut a runner down at the plate and was a key contributor on offense. The Mattoon Top Gun event is next!

[Flame Elite Midwest @FlameElite18U]

She played a solid 2B @averyb_13 but gave opposing defenses fits and @SRC_Softball something to look forward to with her play at the Top Gun Gateway Showcase. Come see her and the rest of the Flame Elite in Mattoon!

[Flame Elite Midwest @FlameElite18U]

Speed. turns easy outs to hits, pressures defenses into mental and physical errors, & sets the table for RBIs from the big bats - @EnglishLauren3 @MorganMacam2026 @KinleyWill10 and @averyb_13 have speed to spare! @jalc_softball @DePauwSoftball @land_softball @SRC_Softball

[Flame Elite Midwest @FlameElite18U]

O'Fallon defenses had no answer for RBI machine @McKenzieDavis00 -fool her,she keeps her hands back and muscles it to right, but usually she's driving it over the OF's head!
Next up-Top Gun Gateway Showcase, Chesterfield 6/19-21
