Alex was part of the all-conquering NSW team that went through the tournament undefeated.

Older brother Todd was also in action, selected as a student umpire for the national event.

Alex's NSW girls 12 and under team proved too good for South Australia, Victoria, ACT and Queensland, finishing the championship with a for and against of 94-11.

The Lake Albert Public School student thoroughly enjoyed the week-long tournament.

"It was a good experience," Alex said.

"We came first and I loved playing with the girls. I didn't know any of them before but were so close by the end of it."

Alex played a number of roles for the NSW team. She batted well, while also pitching for four innings, as well as spending time at second base and in the outfield.
