It’s been three years since Katiyana Mauga last wore an Arizona uniform, but she can still hit the ball a long, long way.

The UA alum hit not one but two homers Sunday as she was the No. 1 of three Game MVPs in an Athletes Unlimited affair between Team Sanders and Team Osterman (Mauga’s team).

Mauga’s first tater came in the first inning, when she clubbed a three-run shot to left center off former Florida State All-American Jessica Burroughs to give Team Osterman a 4-0 cushion.

Mauga’s second blast, a solo shot, was basically to the same spot off former Oklahoma State All-American Samantha Show. For good measure, Mauga also had an RBI single, giving her five RBI in the blowout victory.

Yes, we know. But twice is nice

Have yourself a day, @katiyana_13!

Mauga, who finished her Arizona career first in school history and second in NCAA history in homers (92), currently has the eighth-most points in Athletes Unlimited heading into Monday’s action.

With another strong performance, she could earn the right to be one of four team captain’s for Tuesday’s draft.
