RIO HONDO — The Rio Hondo Lady Bobcats continue to roll through District 32-4A and on Thursday improved to 9-0 in league play with a 12-2 win over Raymondville.
A key part to the team’s offense has been the hot bat of freshman Abbie Torris. Against Port Isabel on March 23, Torris went 4 for 5 and on Tuesday she was 3 for 3 at the plate with four RBIs. Meanwhile, on Thursday night, Torris kept the hot bat going with another three-hit night.
Because of her strong offensive performances, Torris is this week’s Valley Morning Star’s female Player of the Week.
“I’m excited to be named player of the week,” Torris said. “I use the motivation I get from the seniors, especially from my cousin, Bianca Cruz. They’re my biggest supporters and they inspire me to do my best.”
Torris is off to a strong start this season as she leads the club in hits with 39, RBIs with 27 and leads the team at the plate with a .641 average.
“Right now I’m seeing the ball very well. I go to the plate and take it one pitch at a time,” she said. “Our recent win against Progreso was great for us because it was a continuation of how well we’re playing as a team and it’s great to stay perfect in district play.”
