Tom Brady was fired up about his niece Maya Brady hitting two home runs in UCLA’s 7-3 semifinal win against Oklahoma in the Women’s College World Series on Monday.
The Buccaneers quarterback took to Twitter to shoutout the standout sophomore, who cracked a pair of dingers and tallied five RBIs.
Brady posted a video of what appeared to be Maya yelling, “Let’s f–king go” amid her monster game at the plate.
The catchphrase is a Brady staple on the football field and his social media. He’s clearly passed it down to the Bruins powerhouse utility player.
“Must run in the family (Sorry mom!),” Brady tweeted. “Winner takes all in 20 minutes. LET’S GO!”
The Bruins’ win forced an elimination game against the Sooners, which is set for Monday afternoon.
Maya’s mother, Maureen, who is Brady’s sister, was an All-American softball star at Fresno State in the ’90s. Last March, the proud uncle declared Maya “the most dominant athlete” in the Brady family on Twitter.

That same year, she tied for the team lead and was seventh in the conference with 14 home runs.
Maya entered the 2022 collegiate softball season ranking fifth in UCLA history with a .697 slugging percentage (145 total bases, 208 at-bats).
Brady isn’t Maya’s only famous uncle. She is the niece of former MLB infielder Kevin Youkilis, a two-time World Series champion with the Red Sox.
