Local San Tan Valley Girl Hoping to Represent Diamondbacks at the All-Star Game


by: SanTanValley.com

It's been a long road, but 10 year old, San Tan Valley resident Emily Saults is hoping that her determination will take her all the way to Chase Field where she will have the honor of representing the Diamondbacks at the All-Star Game.

Emily started playing baseball when she was 4 years old and enjoyed playing with her brother, Nick, who is now 14.  At the age of 8, she transitioned over to softball and currently plays for the Queen Creek Heat.  Although Emily's favorite position is catcher, she also plays pitcher, shortstop and third baseman.

Emily who started out as one of tens of thousands of girls to enter the Pitch, Hit and Run from across the country, is now one of 90 girls left to battle for the National Championship.  After having won the local competition in Queen Creek, Emily moved on to the Sectional Competition in Chandler.  She had to have one of the three highest scores for all of the Sectionals being conducted throughout Arizona and New Mexico.  Emily did just that and qualified for the National Semi-Finals.

It is now down to Emily and two other girls, who will be competing next Sunday, May 27th at 7:00am at Chase Field.  It will be one of these three girls that will be the representative of the Diamondbacks at the All-Star Game.
