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

Continued to work on leg drive to increase my velocity and spin today. Looking forward to getting in some great reps this weekend at the College Classic in Sugar Land . @BombersGoldLS @maggiwelham @PhillipJuarez @Fernand11267527 @KennedyDerek @KristiMalpass @bombers_academy

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.

Just a few clips from my most recent pitching lesson with @harleypitching ! Working on leg drive to make sure that I am as explosive as possible off the mound. Super excited to get on the field in the fall with @UnityRussel 💜🧡
