In District 32-6A, Harlingen High hasn’t backed down from the opposition and has won two straight to quietly improve to 3-2 in league play.
One key to the Lady Red Birds’ recent success has been the play of sophomore second baseman Zoe Rosas, who has had a hand in Harlingen’s wins in the circle as well as at the infield position.
Harlingen got wins against Weslaco East 10-3 and a 14-3 thrashing against Los Fresnos.
In a 10-3 win against Weslaco East, Rosas went 2 for 4 with a walk and in a 14-3 thrashing vs. Los Fresnos on Tuesday she was 1 for 4 at the plate with an RBI.
For her efforts, Rosas was named this week’s Valley Morning Star female Player of the Week.
“It means a lot for me (to be named the player of the week.) I have been working hard all season,” she said. “I have been trying my best to help my team in any way. When I make a mistake, I just shake it off and keep playing. I’m feeling good right now and as a team we’re playing some good softball.
“I’ve felt good inside the circle and I have been feeling strong, too. At the plate, I’m seeing the ball really well. I go up to the plate with a positive mindset, and I try and use all the fundamentals and just try to get on base.”
