Riverside native helps team win championship for inaugural Mexican Softball League season

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) -- The new Mexican Softball League just wrapped up its inaugural season and a Southern California woman was among the players to take home a championship.

Linnah Rebolledo of Riverside plays left field for the Charros de Jalisco, who recently won the Liga Mexicana de Softbol championship.

Linnah's bunt helped clear the bases and secure the 6-0 win during the final game.

Rebolledo, who also played softball at Utah Valley University, told Eyewitness News last month that she sees playing for the team as a "huge opportunity" that is making her family proud and serving as an example for her younger sisters.

Another Southern Californian is also playing for the six-team league. Dafne Yamilet Bravom who grew up in South Los Angeles, plays catcher for the Diablos of Mexico City.
