It takes Tuua: Sisters lead Cougars to undefeated softball season
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) – The Capital Christian softball team went undefeated in the Capital Athletic League, thanks in part to Alannah and Ayla Tuua.
“I love playing with my sister,” said Alannah. “It’s always fun and games, like if I hit a home run, then Ayla wants to hit a home run.”
This will be the final year Alannah and Ayla Tuua will play together as Cougars.
That is because Alannah is a senior, and she will head to Cal Poly next year to follow in her mom’s footsteps.
“It honestly means the world to me,” said Alannah. “It’s literally my dream come true.”
The third baseman leads the Cougars in runs batted in and triples this season. She even helped tee her little sister up for success as Ayla Tuua leads the team (and the league) in batting average, home runs and batters struck out.
“I’m not surprised,” said Ayla.
The sophomore sensation started pitching four years ago. As a freshman, she pitched four no-hitters. She matched that this year to lead all California pitchers.
“I’m not surprised because of how great this team is defensively and offensively. We have so many [soon to be] college Division-I athletes on our team,” said Ayla.
Ayla Tuua also has dreams of going to a Division I college.
In fact, she is receiving quite a lot of interest from college coaches in the SEC and the Pac-12, who travel to her games to watch her play.
As of now, however, Ayla Tuua cannot receive any official offers; she has to wait until her junior season.
“I’m really nervous,” she said. “But, I trust that God knows where I am supposed to be.”
