DANNA QUINTERO\/THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[Raissa] takes ownership out there on the field,\u201d said Lady Sharks\u2019 Head Coach Gina De Ag\u00fcero. \u201cShe talks the whole entire game and she really has good energy. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She gives it 100% all the time in everything she does.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her potent bat is paying dividends for the Lady Sharks. The team has won six of their last eight games. They are 17-15 on the season including a 3-1 record in conference play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With 20 games remaining on their regular season schedule, the Lady Sharks only need one more victory to tie last season&#8217;s win total.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe last few years, we&#8217;ve been rebuilding,\u201d\u00a0 De Ag\u00fcero said. \u201cThis year we started off a little rocky but we&#8217;ve really been able to turn it around. The team has come together.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bianco is a major reason for that turnaround. She has recorded three or more hits in six games. On Feb. 26, the infielder had a game-winning triple in a 4-3 victory versus Seminole State College of Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe&#8217;s the most determined person I&#8217;ve ever met in my life, hard working, very outgoing, always [willing] to help people when they need it and an all-around great athlete,\u201d said Lady Sharks outfielder Kaila Mullett.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Softball has always been a major part of Bianco\u2019s life. When she was seven, she tagged along with her older sister<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/bianco-providing-offense-and-pitching-for-lady-sharks\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raquelli Bianco<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 who was one of the star players for Central\u00a0 Gl\u00f3ria in Brazil. At the time, Raissa was more content with playing in the field&#8217;s clay dirt but eventually the team\u2019s coach, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lana Calixto, convinced her to give the sport a chance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe slowly started to talk to me and be like, \u2018Oh, can you grab me that ball? And then oh, can you throw me that ball?\u201d\u00a0 Raissa fondly recalled. \u201cLittle by little I started to practice. I would go with dresses and then I felt more comfortable going with leggings so I could play. It was just for fun in the beginning.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sport eventually took Raisa to Taipei City in Taiwan where her Brazilian national team was invited to the II IBAF 12U Baseball World Cup in 2013. The team finished in 8th place in the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She spent her last four years in Brazil traveling to the United States to play summer ball. During those stretches, she impressed De Ag\u00fcero who offered her a scholarship to play at Miami Dade College.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At MDC, Raissa has capably followed in the footsteps of her older sister, Raquelli, who carved out an impressive career at the College from 2012-14, winning 10 games as a freshman and hitting eight home runs the following season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a freshman, Raissa led the Lady Sharks with three home runs, 27 RBI and a .460 average. The veteran, who is now 21, hopes to lead the Lady Sharks even farther.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have high hopes for this season,\u201d Bianco said. \u201cWe&#8217;re aiming at Nationals.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31079\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-31079\" src=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Raissa-Bianco3_web-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Raissa-Bianco3_web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Raissa-Bianco3_web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Raissa-Bianco3_web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Raissa-Bianco3_web.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Getting Defensive: Raissa Bianco fields a ball at third base during a recent Lady Sharks&#8217; practice.
