Over the last week, Line Drive Softball covered the WBSC U-18 Women’s Softball World Cup C action in Dallas which saw the USA and Canada punch their tickets to the World Cup Finals to be held next year as well as Mexico, which earned a wild card spot.

One of the stars for Team USA, which went 6-0 and outscored the opponents by an overwhelming margin of 63-1, was Townsen Thomas, the speedster from Humble, Texas who will be attending the University of Florida to play softball and run track.

On Monday (Labor Day), Townsen went 3-for-4 in the championship win over Canada to finish the event with a sizzling .684 batting average and led the tournament with 13 hits.

Here’s one of her hits, which came against the Philippines on Sunday:

I caught up with her after that game and, as you’ll see from the clip below, we both got caught in a brief Lone Star State downpour as we talked!

The day was also a special one for Townsen in another way as revealed by her USA coaches and teammates who sang “Happy Birthday” to her after the victory!
