The appreciation is earned by Maya Brady who shone like a pro when she delivered her fourth career grand slam that drove Utah’s pitcher out of the circle. In the third inning, the bases loaded but Brady cleared them with a two-RBI knock giving UCLA an 11-1 lead. Brady said of the game, “It’s kind of a nine-on-one mentality. Nobody can do it out there alone. It’s just really all of us having a really good flow of energy and having our pitchers back.” Spoken like a true sportsman who understands the value of teamwork. It’s no wonder Tom Brady calls her the “most athletic” one in the Brady family.
