During Lake Fenton’s historic Senior League Softball World Series title run, All-Stater Avery Heil emerged as one of District 4’s top performers. Despite limited play early in the tournament due to an injury, Heil led all players in batting average (.667) and doubles (5), while ranking second in slugging percentage (1.200) and on-base percentage (.688). She also finished fifth in total hits (10).
Once fully unleashed in the final five games — starting with a four-hit, four-RBI performance against Canada — Heil proved unstoppable at the plate and scored three runs in the championship game. Her breakout performance was key to District 4’s dominant 82-5 tournament run and Michigan’s first World Series softball title in 27 years.
