With the spring trip and first part of the season over, this year has proven to be very different from the previous years on and off the field. The last two, my first two seasons here at Hamline, were dominated by sophomores and juniors that were all seasoned veterans on the college softball field. This year we have lots of new faces filling important roles, some roles still being fought for. One thing for sure is that we are a very athletic team this year, mixed with upperclassmen and freshman, with a very exciting future. On top of it all, as a group we can have a lot of fun!
California was a jammed packed trip filled with new experiences. We had seven players step onto the dirt for their very first college softball games. Some girls got their first hits, and a couple lucky ladies hit their very first home runs of the season and their college careers. After every person on our team volunteered for the ARC chain of thrift stores, most of us were able to enjoy our first time at the magical world of Disney. Though the players that have been with us for three years have been to Knotts Berry Farm, more than half the team got to experience the amusement park for the first time. Then there was all the firsties to In n Out Burger, Jack in the Box, Chick-Fil-A, and let's not forget the ever enticing Yogurtland. It was a great trip of first times, but the best first to experience was how well each person involved with this team, players, coaches, friends and family, came from all over to be together. It's going to be a great year with many more firsts to come!!!
