Eberle, Alexander, Mazon, Wagner return to the circle

Carrie Eberle’s two-year career with AU has a collection of accolades.

She was named the 2021 Rookie of the Year and finished her first campaign as the fourth-place medalist. In her debut season, she ranked second in the league for MVP points after a 3-2 record with two complete games and a save. That season she tied for a league lead of 13 games pitched and 10 games started and ranked fifth for her 3.16 ERA.

In 2022 Eberle registered 18 strikeouts across 32 innings pitched and batters averaged just a .290 average against her. She finished 26th overall in the final leaderboard standings.

Mariah Mazon was a late addition to the inaugural season of AUX but her potential as a rookie secured her a place at the Championship season. Her ERA was 3.50 at AUX and 3.97 during the Championship season.

That season she also recorded 24 strikeouts across her 30 innings, including a season-high four against Team McCleney in Week Five. Mazon registered at least two strikeouts in 10-of-11 appearances.
