Well, classes do start TODAY. Ballcoach, will the softball team be taking all their classes "in the bubble" (aka on Microsoft Teams)?

I think that will more likely be this one. 8)

First baseman from Michigan. In case you didn't pick up on it from the article, this girl's grandmother was a teammate of Dot's on the 1996 and 2000 gold medal Olympic Softball teams. Grad transfer with only one year of eligibility, but she should help a lot this year with the loss of Autumn Bishop.

She mostly DP'd when not at 1B at UM. At 5'5" she's not the target Poulich (5'11") will be. Both posses lots of power.

5'5" is certainly not ideal for 1b, but we are comparing a grad SR all-conference performer and a true FR. Autumn was/is 5'8". I suppose Allan could be DP.

We will have a lot of depth at 1B and even more at DP. Hopefully this will translate into a lot of RBIs.

We desperately need more run production against the better teams. A good mix of the single hitters and the long ball from 2 or 3 women in the lineup would be great. Love the direction
of the program!
