Over the last week, Line Drive Softball covered the WBSC U-18 Women’s Softball World Cup C action in Dallas which saw the USA and Canada punch their tickets to the World Cup Finals to be held next year as well as Mexico, which earned a wild card spot.

One of the stars for Team USA, which went 6-0 and outscored the opponents by an overwhelming margin of 63-1, was Townsen Thomas, the speedster from Humble, Texas who will be attending the University of Florida to play softball and run track.

Townsen's bat is HOT ????

On Monday (Labor Day), Townsen went 3-for-4 in the championship win over Canada to finish the event with a sizzling .684 batting average and led the tournament with 13 hits.

Here’s one of her hits, which came against the Philippines on Sunday:

I caught up with her after that game and, as you’ll see from the clip below, we both got caught in a brief Lone Star State downpour as we talked!

The day was also a special one for Townsen in another way as revealed by her USA coaches and teammates who sang “Happy Birthday” to her after the victory!
