May 5, 2022 – Sierra Madre Girls Softball Association’s Spring Season ended with exciting championship 
games and a closing ceremony on Sunday, May 1, celebrating three months of skills development, competition, 
friendship and fun. Our youngest players in the 6U division received special recognition at the start of 
their softball journey and the winning teams of each division in the Tournament from 8U to 14U received 
special softball champion rings. 

As we head into summer, selected players on SMGSA All Stars Teams will represent Sierra Madre in competitive 
USA Softball All Stars Tournaments across Southern California. And at the peak of the summer in 
mid-July, we will open registration for the Fall 2022 season at smgsa.org, preparing for tryouts and practices 
in late August. 

Highlights from our Spring 2022 Tournament Championship Games include: 

Danger Zone 5 vs. Red Hot Chili Peppers 1 

Two pitching aces, Carly and Raqui, faced off in the 10U 
Championship game going six innings with NO WALKS! 
Only after a fiercely contested battle did Danger Zone 
emerge victorious. Congratulations to both teams on an ex-

Caution 8 vs. Cobra Kai 3 

The 12U Division Championship game was hard fought by 
both sides, but Team Caution ultimately went home with 
the gold rings. #15 Laila Melendez from Team Caution hit 
an RBI triple bringing in Havan Pagan and Aubrey Myers, 
capping off their victory. Congratulations to Team Caution: 
Abby, Alice, Aubrey, Camila, Emily, Havana, Jase, Jai, Laila,

SM CARDINALS

player. He fields, throws, 
and hits consistently. He is 
a powerhouse that has been 
hitting off the tee. He is a 
fun player on and off the 
field!

man, a good team member and has 
great skills!

player! 
T-BALL SM RAYS 
Troy L. has been working hard all season, 
giving it his best effort day in and day out. 
He has done a great job learning all of the 
positions in the infield and doing a great 
job of learning the fundamentals of hit-
ting. Always has a great attitude! 
AA SM A'S. 
Francisco G. had an amazing 
week as one of the A’s pitchers 
who helped his team come up 
with a victory against another 
great Madre team. His pitching 
has been instrumental for the A’s, 
but his work on the field must also 
be acknowledged. He made awe-
some plays at first and short stop 
and is an all around great player 
and leader for the A’s. 
AA ROYALS 

Jack C. has been working hard on and 
off the field to improve his game. It 
has been tough being the youngest 
player on his team and the coach’s 
son, but Jack has shown such improvement 
with his baseball skills 
and leadership. He is one of the top 
hitters, leads the team in RBI’s, and is 
reliable in any position he is put in.

program for over 7 years and is a senior
