LJ softball: Emmy and college team to play at UCSD in Feb.

By Ed Piper

Emmy Cardenas, one of the best Vikings to ever star on the LJHS softball diamond, will return to San Diego with her college team, Winthrop University, for a tournament next February 7-8-9.

Cardenas, a two-way player for the Eagles, in Rock Hill, South Carolina, was named the MVP of the Senior All-Star Game in June 2023 played on the Tritons' home field at UCSD. She hit a double that bounced off the left-centerfield fence and drove in the go-ahead run. Then in the final inning, she pitched a scoreless inning to pick up the save.

For the Vikings during her prep days, Emmy blasted a record number of home runs while batting in the third slot, and meanwhile hurled several no-hitters from the pitching circle.

The right-hander, who also bats from the right side, wears number six and stands 5'8".
