WEST CARROLLTON – The Lady Wave completed its 2023 MVL varsity softball season with a 17-1 win over the home standing West Carrollton Lady Pirates to outright win the Miami Valley League Championship trophy.
“Great day for Lady Wave Softball and time to clinch the outright overall MVL title,” said veteran Greenville coach, Jerrod Newland. “Hit it square and played 22 kids today.”
The Lady Wave put six runs on the first-inning board and added seven-runs in the top of the second putting the game out of reach on their way to the MVL title.
