CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Former Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islander and Calallen Lady 'Cat softball player Valerie Perez received a big accolade Thursday when she was named to the USA Women's Baseball Team roster.
Perez was then welcomed home by her friends and family Friday at the Corpus Christi International Airport after a weeklong tryout in Arizona.
The women's baseball team is a part of USA Baseball and will be competing in the Women's Baseball World Cup group stage next month in Ontario, Canada.
The 2014 Texas A&M-CC graduate is also a firefighter and paramedic for the Corpus Christi Fire Department.
