The Park Vista Cobras will welcome the Wellington Wolverines at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Park Vista is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.8 runs per game this season.

Park Vista proved they can win big on Thursday (they won by ten) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out Coral Springs Charter 4-3.

Angeline Mergen was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched seven innings while giving up three earned runs off only two hits.

Mergen wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Savanna Latone, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-2. What's more, Latone posted two hits, the most she's had since back in April of 2024. Keaganne Glidden also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Meanwhile, Wellington got themselves on the board against Centennial on Friday, but Centennial never followed suit. They blew past the Eagles 9-0. The Wolverines haven't had any issues with the Eagles recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Angelina Baronci, who went 2-for-3 with one triple and one run. Another player making a difference was Jasmine Jones, who scored two runs while going 1-for-1.
