Coach Rosie says: "The Ipswich Junior Bengals had a season of growth, success, and adversity. They were supportive teammates and hungry to improve their skills which translated on the field. Chloe dominated on the mound. Violet also stood out pitching alongside new pitcher Cait who made her pitching debut this season. All three girls were strong, focused and contributed to the team’s success. Additional callouts are Lilah for her commitment and on base average, Mia, a fifth grader, for her fierce mindset on and off the field. The coaches couldn’t be prouder of the entire team, their spirit, coachability and growth were really impressive. We had such a fun season and are hopeful to get back to it next year."
