Trinity Lennon (Pawcatuck, Conn.) showed off her skills as double threat in this past weekend’s ASA/USA Kick off Invitational. A team player for the CT Cyclones 00, her grit helped her work her way to this week’s fourth ASA/USA Junior Olympic (JO) Player of the Week honor, presented by Worth Fastpitch and www.FloSoftball.com.

Announced today by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA)/USA Softball, Lennon saved the best for last.

Entering the bottom of the seventh against the Quebec Revels, after a leadoff single, she powered through and hit a triple to tie the game, later scoring the winning run.

“Trinity is a great kid, as a person she is caring, a good team motivator,” said Gus Craig, Head Coach of the CT Cyclones 00. “ She is a leader on the team, keeping them focused when needed and you can see that she has great confidence in her teammates. “She has been playing for our program since she was young, so the girls have played together for several years. Trinity loves to compete with her team and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the win,””

The CT Cyclones 00 went 6-0 in their first tournament of the 2015 season, led by Lennon pitching in five of those games. She was dominant over the weekend, picking up five wins and three shutouts.
