Kowalik, Ricketts, and Fouts Lead the Charge as Team Kowalik Dominates Team Falby
AUSL All-Star Cup Returns to Rosemont
The AUSL All-Star Cup returned to Rosemont, Illinois as Team Kowalik and Team Falby faced off. Time is winding down on the 2025 season, and one theme that has defined the league all year has been great pitching and defense.
Ricketts and Fouts Combine for Shutout
Keilani Ricketts and Montana Fouts kept Team Falby off the board with a combined four hit shutout.
- Ricketts went 4.0 innings, allowing just three hits with no walks and two strikeouts.
- Fouts closed it out with 3.0 innings, giving up only one hit, walking none, and striking out five.
Kowalik Sets the Tone at the Plate
Kayla Kowalik delivered a captain’s performance, going 3-for-4 with a home run and three runs scored. Her solo shot in the first inning put Team Kowalik on the board early.
Other offensive standouts included:
- Sierra Romero, 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI
- Baylee Klingler, 2-for-3 with an RBI
- Aliyah Binford and Danieca Coffey, one RBI each
Team Falby’s Quiet Night
For Team Falby, offense was hard to come by. Starter Georgina Corrick turned in a solid outing with 4.0 innings, six strikeouts, and two runs allowed on five hits, but the team could not generate enough offense to back her up.
