12U softball team takes Monsta!

Becker Blast 12U Navy team won the 12U Monsta National Tournament this past weekend.  

This tournament is a 64 team, 4-day event with teams coming from all over the Midwest (Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota).  

Becker’s team went 3-0 in Pool Play on Thursday and Friday, putting them in the Platinum Bracket.  In the Platinum Bracket on Saturday and Sunday. they notched extra inning wins against Hammand, WI (SCC) and Granstsburg, WI, and secured a come-from-behind victory against a powerhouse team from Centennial Lakes.  

Perhaps the most exciting game was a last inning come-from-behind victory against Eden Prairie in the championship game to capture the title.

The team is coached by Steve Esping, Anna Willhite and Ben Johnson.
