Little League Playing Big Time
The granddaughter of Worth County Sheriff Freddie Tompkins and Mrs. Peggy Tompkins will be appearing on ESPN2 tonight along with her Windermere Little League (WLL) softball team as they compete against an undefeated Albuquerque, New Mexico team for the World Series Championship title. Hannah Cain, 12, and her family is nothing short of excited, especially her grandparents who have traveled to be a part of each game played in Portland, Oregon up to the final event.
Hannah, originally from Worth County, is fortunate to be contributing with?teammates?as part of the World Series games. After breaking her arm a few months back, she was released by her doctor only two weeks ago to continue playing ball. Typically playing first base and relief pitcher, she is playing in right field currently.
This is only Hannah?s third year in fast pitch softball, which is incredible to say the least to experience what she and her team are preparing for tonight. WLL earned their spot in tonight?s event after defeating Hawaii Tuesday night, 1 ? 0.
?I just hope they win,? Sheriff Tompkins said Wednesday afternoon. ?If they don?t they have done good to get this far.?
The game is scheduled to start at 10 P.M. eastern time. Tune in to ESPN2 and see if you can spot a few familiar faces during this special sports event broadcast. Good Luck Hannah and Windermere! Photo used with permission
