In May, the 8U Rebelettes won the 2013 Vestavia Hills Girls Softball Association Championship in a nail-biter against the Purple Panthers.
According to coach Michelle Belcher, the Rebelettes were down 10-6 in the bottom of the fifth inning when their bats came alive. Singles by Sofia Willey and Abby Gallaspy set the stage for a two-run triple by Ella Gallaspy to tie the game.
With one out and one runner on third base, Emma Mitchell went to the plate, and two strikes down, she knocked the winning RBI down the first-base line, leading the Rebelettes to a championship and an undefeated season (11-0-2).
