The San Diego Padres could use some help in pitching and hitting.
Is Akira is available?

Hi Boys and girls, finally some news on Akira and Luke, some game have been rained out but Akira played in the Diamond Nation tournament over the weekend.
Akira pitched the second game against Locked in Expos. She threw a two hitter and shut them out 11-0. Akira went 3-6 with 2 walks 4RBI's and 2 runs scored over the weekend.
The third game was against Tri-State Arsenal (ranked 5th in the nation), MVP lost 6-1. The coach for Tri-State arsenal told the coach for MVP beyond the athletic part of the game the biggest asset for a team is mental toughness
And the coach said the toughest player on MVP'S team is Akira Kopec......Joe McDonough.

HI all and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, I have just seen the awards for MVP travel team and Akira won the Perfect Pitch award and Luke won the Most Valuable Player award.
As far as I can see the Perfect Pitch award is for a perfect game, no hits no runs. I have seen her throw many one hitters and at 13 Years of age to throw a perfect game is absolutely amazing.
Can't wait to see the future of these amazing ball players.....Joe McDonough
