It was quite a while ago that Tiffani Smith first had thoughts of becoming the dominant pitcher she is today.
All the way back to middle school.
The timid seventh-grader would go to pitching clinics at South Western and look on in awe at Lexi Myers.
Myers was the Tiffani Smith before Smith herself was.
She went 21-4 over two seasons as a varsity pitcher for the Lady Mustangs and dominated the strike zone with 227 strikeouts and just 21 walks.
