The Antioch Senior Softball Team took home the Northern California State title and earned a trip to Missoula Montana to try and claim Western National Title and are asking for donations from the public to help fund the trip.
The team won in Chico to take home the Northern California State Title which is the first softball team in Antioch Little League History to ever win a state title. Antioch won by defeating Division 8 softball 21 to 4 in the first game and 16 to 9 in the second game by defeating East Hills Little League 2 out of 3 games. East Hills were tough contenders and took a full team effort for the win while battling 100 degree heat.
