USSSA Champions

Roanoke Rapids based under 12 girls travel softball team
Carolina Rippers traveled to Rocky Mount this past week-
end for the “NC USSSA Fall Sensation” USSSA softball 
tournament and came away with the Championship trophy. 

The Carolina Rippers had to face another Roanoke Rapids 
based team in route and in the championship game.

The Rippers faced RV Power 03 early on in the two day 
tournament and sent them to the loser bracket, but re-
bounded for the Championship match-up. RV Power won 
the Championship game, but because it was a double 
elimination tournament and it was the Rippers first lost 
both teams played the championship game again. This 
time the Carolina Rippers came away with the 4-2 win 
and their first ever tournament championship.

"The girls needed this win to prove they can win," stated 
coach Bill Ewers.
