The Lady Astros were the No. 1 seed headed into the championship game with the Elite Lady Sox from Dothan. The Lady Astros went ahead in the second inning with a 2-run home run from Jessica Briggs. Another 2-run home run Korina Rosario sealed the championship with a 4-3 win for Molino’s Lady Astros.

    Just a thought to William and not necessarily for the comments.

    Do you know how many Championship teams Donnie Nicholson has been involved with. It seems like I have seen his name along with several teams from Molino over the years. I think he does it just to help the girls. I know of Donnie but I don’t know him very well, but seems like he could be one of the people that you recognize as people of the year.
