FRESNO — The softball action was so good at the 43rd annual City/County All-Star Softball Game that they had to go an extra inning to determine the winner at Margie Wright Diamond at Fresno State. 

Liberty Hawks’ standout Ari Aguayo scored the game-winning run to help the County team walk it off over the City, 8-7, Wednesday. 

Although Aguayo didn’t receive the Player of the Game Award, she received her team’s Most Inspirational Award, instead, from 2025 All-Star Game Hall of Fame Inductee Dean Eller. The Most Inspirational Award is named after Eller’s daughter, Jenny.
