The Knik Little League is on a mission to provide more opportunities for girls around the state to play softball with events like the Birchwood Jamboree.
Sophia Fuller takes a swing in the Knik Little League Birchwood Jamboree home run derby on Thursday, July 14, 2022.
“It’s important that we have events like this because we kind of get overshadowed by baseball,” KLL Vice President Dan Trixinger said. “We have a lot of girls that are playing the sport, that are growing up in the sport and go on to college and get scholarships to the sport.” “We can only do this stuff because we have really good sponsors that come out to support our program and this tournament,” Trixinger said.
The five age groups that were included were 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U. The top three finishers in each age group were presented their prizes by Miss Alaska 2022, Jessica Reisinger. “As Miss Alaska, one of my goals is to really be that role model,” Reisinger said. “I feel really lucky that I had so many wonderful women role models and mentors growing up, and it’s really important to me to be that person for somebody else.”
