'We're trying to remember them and play for them, because it's so much more than softball.'
Though Eliahana did not make it for the last game, team members kneeled for a moment of silence to remember her and the other victims.
Other teams have paid tribute, too. A town in Beeville, Texas, a couple hours away from Uvalde, donned shirts that featured Eliahana's picture during a recent game. They also gathered with their opponents in a circle for a pregame moment of remembrance, according to"A little girl named Eliahana Torres, she was in fourth grade, she was only 10 years old.
In Muscatine, Iowa, 1,200 miles from Uvalde, Little League baseball players sold lemonade and snacks with a goal of raising $1,000 for the victims' families, according to“My son has been watching the news and trying to explain to him what’s been happening is scary and emotional, so he had the idea how can we help these families — he felt so bad for the kids and the victims,” Chelsea Harms, a mother of one of the Iowa players, told the station.
The Oklahoma Sooners softball team, standing at number one in the nation with a remarkable 54-2 record, honored the softball players this past week with posters in their dugouts of the four girls killed. Each poster displayed a picture in the center, with signed messages from the team around the borders. The slogan"PRAY 4 UVALDE," written in large text with marker, filled the top, and"PLAY 4 ..." followed by each girl's name matched in the bottom.
"We're trying to remember them and play for them, because it's so much more than softball, and I'm sad to say that they won't get the opportunity to play at a level like this. So if we can just have them on our hearts and on our shoulders as we're playing — we'd just like to remember them," said Jocelyn Alo, a redshirt senior from Hawaii in a postgame interview with ESPN.
