The Drillers No Available Update for Last Week
Sunnyvale Toothfaires Learning the Game and Having Fun!
Our youngest SGSL players, the 6U Sunnyvale Toothfaires, were back on the field this weekend for a fun two-inning game against Branham Hills Girls Softball League (BHGS).
At the 6U level, it’s all about learning the basics, building confidence, and developing a love for softball. From hitting and running the bases to learning where to throw the ball, our Toothfaires are making progress each time they take the field.
Despite the warm weather, the girls enjoyed their time on the field, got in some great practice, and managed to beat the heat!
Great job, Toothfaires! Keep learning, smiling, and having fun!

Shockwave 10U Earns Gold Bracket Berth in First Tournament
The Sunnyvale Shockwave 10U made an impressive debut at the Pink Panther Tournament, earning a spot in the Gold Bracket on Championship Sunday in their first tournament together.
This young team showed plenty of fight throughout Saturday. Shockwave nearly completed a five-run comeback against Livermore Smoke, with Haley A collecting two hits and Ava D and Haley helping lead an aggressive effort on the bases.
The team’s biggest performance came against the Dublin Banshees. Alessandra P was outstanding in the circle, allowing no hits while striking out eight over four innings. Shockwave also showed patience at the plate, stole seven bases, and played solid defense to earn its Gold Bracket berth.
On Championship Sunday, Shockwave faced a strong Corona Angels Nichols/Faria team. While their tournament run ended Sunday morning, reaching the Gold Bracket in their first tournament was a great accomplishment for a young group that is just beginning to learn how to play together.
The weekend also ended with a special recognition as Ava D received the Best Teammate Award, recognizing the positive impact she had on her teammates throughout the weekend.
A great start for this young team, with plenty to build on as the fall season continues.
Go Shockwave!
See you on the field,
