West Pasco 8U girls' softball team looks to win World Series title

The West Pasco Darlings 8U softball team won the Dixie State Champion. Now, they will be representing the state of Florida in the Dixie Softball World Series in Fairview, Tenn. “Last year, we were one game shy. We came in second place in state last year,” manager Sean Howard said. “We have three returning players from that team last year. We said we have a great opportunity to go on a good run this year.” The team went 5-0 in the state All-Star Tournament held at Starkey Ranch. These young ladies, some only seven years old, continue practicing four days a week, honing their skills for the World Series that begins on July 29.
