Miami Lakes Optimist Club’s girls softb all team ended the R.B.I. season by going undefeated and capturing the championship back-to-back.
The girls defeated a combination of Hialeah Miami Lakes and Barbara Coleman players in the playoff by a score of 10-3.
They played the championship versus a team consisting of Doral Academy and Miami High and won 12-2.
“The girls played hard all season,” said coach Alex Castroman. The Miami Lakes team consisted of American High and Miami Lakes Optimist recreational players.
“Every single girl played a significant role during the season. It was a team effort, if one girl was off, there were 11 others peaking,” Castroman said.
The girls were presented the trophy during a Miami Marlins home game. They were brought down to the field by the Marlins dugout where ex-Marlin Cliff Floyd presented them with the trophy.
They also got a visit from Miami Lakes Councilmember Tim Daubert, who attended the game, making his way to where the girls were and congratulated them for representing Miami Lakes.
