Peoria, IL — The Fuzion 16U softball team left no doubt this past weekend, dominating the competition to capture the Class A championship at the USSSA State Tournament in Peoria, Illinois. Finishing with a flawless 6-0 record, Fuzion put on a clinic in all phases of the game—scoring 37 runs while allowing just 11 over six games.
The title run was capped off with a thrilling come-from-behind 5-3 victory over Metamora Flames 08 in the championship game. Fueled by grit and timely hitting, Fuzion rallied late to secure the title and complete their undefeated weekend. A big shoutout goes to Eva Harmon, who crushed her second home run of the tournament in the championship to help swing the momentum.
