Miami Lakes Optimist Club’s Heat softball team took their game to a whole new level this summer, capping off a third straight championship season with a 13-1 record.
“It was a great season,” said coach Alex Castroman, who took the team to its third consecutive title. ”It’s been a great run for the girls, some are high school seniors who have played softball at the Optimist Club since the age of 7.”
Castroman said the girls were presented the championship trophy at Marlins Park, where they celebrated another feat.
“We are very proud of all the girls,” said assistant coach Avilio Alfonso.
Castroman is taking 15 girls to Atlanta to compete in the M.L.B. regionals with the Marlins paying for the traveling and hotel expenses.
