With a record of 21-3, Mt. Shasta Lady Bear pitcher Kayla Spini and her teammates are currently tied for the most wins in the North Section. Her ERA of 0.57 is the best in the Shasta Cascade League, where Mt. Shasta is tied for first place at 7-1, and her ERA is fourth in the section. Spini is second in the league in strikeouts (277), and third in the section. But, Spini isn’t just about shutting down her opponents’ bats. She can light up the opposing pitcher, as well.

Spini leads the Lady Bears in batting average (.549), RBI (29), and doubles (13). She’s second in the league in average and RBI (section 5^th & 6^th).

Spini is a sophomore.

Add up the numbers and the result is an Impact Player Award for Kayla Spini.

The Impact Player Award is given on a monthly basis and goes to Siskiyou County high school athletes, male or female, that have had a significant impact on the success of their team. I select the players based on my own observations, sometimes in consultation with the player’s coaches.

Up to four awards may be given each month and are not school specific; they can go to a player at any school that Siskiyou Youth covers. Winners receive Impact T-shirts that were designed by Golden Grotto. The T-shirts and award are cosponsored by SiskiyouYouth.com and NorCal Classic Hits radio, KCWH, 102.3/101.7
