Tournament #3 is the @eastcoast_sb Fall Showcase in NJ. We are excited to head north and put our talents on display for a HUGE list of college coaches. We are bringing a highly skilled & highly competitive collection of uncommitted 27s, 28s, & 29, along with our standout committed players to 2 complexes: Marlton on Sat & Pennsville on Sun. Ready for some great 🥎 & great opportunities!

Got the opportunity to guest play this weekend with another Unity team and my good friend Bella Tellefsen. Batted .600 over 6 games and took home the ring! @UnityRussel @ExtraInningSB @ConnectSoftball @SoftballPortal

Putting in some extra work in the cage and bullpen since I wasn’t satisfied with last weekend’s results. I’m looking forward to another week of work and getting back on the field with my @UnityRussel girls soon!

It took a little time to knock the rust off after not playing a tournament in 2 months but we were firing on all cylinders by games 3 & 4! Great to be back with my Unity girls!

It was great getting back on the field with my @UnityRussel girls! We knocked some rust off and are looking forward to a great fall season! In the circle, I gave up some hits, including 1 bomb, but also racked up 16 K’s in 7.2 IP. I’m proud of how my rise ball was working this tournament after I made some adjustments from the summer. At the plate, I batted .400 with some solid contact.

I had a great weekend @SoftballRider I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to spend the day with the team, tour the school and dinner with the coaches! This was truly once in a lifetime. Although my nerves got the best of me at camp, it was still a 10 out 10 experience.
