Four Casey junior softballers represented Victoria in the recent Under-14 Girls Regional Championships in Queensland.
The tournament took place from 3-7 July in Redcliffe, with Amelia Bacic, Sofia Lewis, Molly Peterson and Gemma Shumack the locals in action.
Amelia has played since she was nine and her selection follows her family’s strong pedigree in the sport.
Her Aunt, Molly Joynson, is a former Victorian player, while grandmother Jenny is a key figure in the Casey Softball Association.
That pair, and Mum, Pamela, all still play.
Amelia (Doveton) and Sofia (Cobras) were part of the pitching squad, while Berwick’s Molly is a reliable catcher for her team but played as a second base and right field in nationals, and Gemma (Cobras) is a versatile player.
Alongside Waverley, Casey was the most represented association in the team.
Victoria had a 17-3 win in their last match of the championships, against the Australian Capital Territory.
