12U Season is a Wrap. #GOLDBLOODED
The 12U season is in the books — and what an awesome ride it was.
Chloe was fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing group of talented teammates, coaches who truly invested in the team’s development, and families who made this insane travel ball lifestyle not just doable — but incredibly enjoyable.
As a team, we were challenged by some of the top competition in the country on a regular basis. We expanded beyond the elite PGF Super Select events to include the best of Alliance Fastpitch and Triple Crown Sports, with tournament stops in Arkansas, Tennessee, Kansas City, Colorado, and a National Championship Series in our relative own backyard in Indiana.
Over the past three travel seasons, Chloe has proven herself to be a model of consistency:
✅ 32 wins in 10U
✅ 33 wins in 11U
✅ 34 wins in 12U
She’s earned a reputation as a tough competitor — dependable, focused, and steady under pressure — especially against top-tier competition. This season though – was just a little different. With our expanded schedule, Chloe faced not only the best from the Midwest and South but also squared off with powerhouse teams from California, Texas, and beyond. She responded with several big-time wins, a few close losses, and a ton of growth.
She finished the season 34-6, with 3 saves and a 1.56 ERA. She also threw 57 innings and nearly 800 pitches across the final two tournaments while battling through back and ankle injuries. And while she’s earned a short break from the circle, she was already watching the Alliance National Championship Game — scouting pitch sequences against future opponents, including a few new rivals from OC Batbusters (CA).
