The Bombers have been to the national championship series three times in the past four years and have won national title in 2022, 2024 and 2025. Unity was making its first appearance in the national championship series.

“We’ve worked so hard as a team all year,” Latronico said on Twitter. “Coach Kristi (Malpass) and Coach Mark (Vasquez) have pushed us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. I’ll forever be grateful for the opportunities that I’ve gotten. It feels great to bring it back to Texas!!”

2028 C Lanie Keefer, #7 in the 2028 Line Drive Hot 100, went 1 for 3 with two RBIs and 2028 LF Adair Amsler, #29 in the 2028 Line Drive Hot 100, went 2 for 3 to pace the Unity.
