16U: TN MOJO 2027-PARDUE VS. ATHLETICS GOLD TAMBORRA-VALLERY

#17 TN Mojo 2027-Pardue and Athletics Gold Tamborra-Vallery both decided not to play the 16U championship game and finished as co-champions of the Scenic City Summer Top 25 on Sunday at Edwards Park in Dalton, GA.

2028 MIF Krimson Calhoun (.613 AVG, 3 doubles, 9 runs, 3 SBs), 2028 OF Kylie Towner (.429 AVG, 11 runs, 3 extra-base hits), 2028 1B/OF Kenzie White (.423 AVG, 3 doubles, 2 HRs, 11 RBIs) and 2028 OF Peyton Hector (.409 AVG, 8 runs) were the offensive leaders for TN Mojo.

Georgetown-committed 2027 P Reagan Jordan (11 IP, 5 hits, 1 ER, 0.636 ERA, hitting — 5 HRs, 17 RBIs) and Middle Tennessee State-committed 2027 P Millie Pardue (15 IP, 14 Ks) led the TN Mojo pitching staff.

“The girls really carried over their performance from Super Grand where we finished in a four-way tie due to weather,” Mojo coach Mike Pardue said.

“Pitching did a great job of limiting runs and/or defense was lights out. Hitting, we were productive with runners in scoring position. The girls really played great. You can tell this group truly enjoys being around each other and the amount of coaches that came to watch proved it.”

“We are looking to carry this into Patriot Games.”

#17 TN Mojo 2027-Pardue defeated St. Louis Chaos National 2010-Gill, 4-2, Louisville Lady Sluggers 09-Velotta, 6-5, Fury Platinum X-Pickett, 13-11, EC Bullets Gold-Ellis, 7-5, and DNP’d Athletics Gold Tamborra-Vallery in bracket games.
