Stephiane Trausch, of Paulding, recently competed at the MLB Pitch Hit and Run Team Championships (Cleveland Indians) for the third year in a row.

Back in April she competed at the local level and captured hitting, running, pitching and all-around champ in her age division (13-14). She then advanced to, the sectional level which was held in Toledo in May, where she captured sectional champion.

Stephiane’s scores had to be compared with other sectional champions. If she was in the top three, she would advance to the team championships. Stephiane anxiously awaited by the phone to hear from MLB. She received the call she had been waiting for in the first part of June. Stephiane was headed to the MLB Cleveland Indians Team Championships on Father’s Day weekend. Only 90 girls her age across the country competed at this level.
