<p class="text-gray-700">Katie Trela's Mavericks 16U Showcase team was one of the teams on hand at a recent invite in northern Virginia. At that invite, she took to the circle in four contests and fanned 12 batters. Her weekend also included a two-hit shutout. Her team also put together a successful weekend because of her work at the plate, as she hit .625. Trela has one tournament remaining on her schedule for this summer season—the USSSA Nationals in Maryland from July 27 to Aug. 2. She was a part of a South Brunswick team that last season qualified for the quarterfinals of the NJSIAA Central Group 4 tournament. </p>

She also claimed individual achievements from the weekend, including reaching the 100-strikeout plateau for the summer campaign. During that weekend, she threw 19 innings in the circle while only allowing one walk along with 24 strikeouts. Tuberdyke also had a productive time at the dish at Strut Your Game with a .500 average, five singles, two triples and one home run.
