LUFKIN, Tx -- Center's Sassy Sluggers were all business when they opened bracket play Saturday at the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) 8-and-Under 'North' State Tournament here at Kit McConnico Park. They blasted three home runs in an opening 15-8 victory over Corrigan's Diamond Cutterz.

A three-run blast by Kamari Gray, a two-run homer by Erica Renick and a solo shot by Jaycee Campbell was more than enough offense to lead the Center team to the victory.
