What is your favorite softball memory?
I have a lot of great memories playing softball, but one that sticks out is when my grandfather recently passed away. My first high school game was that night and he was supposed to be there. I still went out and played for him, because that is what he would have wanted. I threw a 1 hit shutout that day, it was for him!
Who inspired you to play softball?
My dad inspired me. He coached me until 14U when I became a member of the Illinois Chill. He still helps me train along with all of my great instructors and my sister, who is also a member of the Illinois Chill 14U.
