GOD IS SO SO GOOD ✝️

I’m beyond blessed and grateful to announce I’ll be continuing my academic and athletic career at Liberty University 🩵❤️

First, I’d like to give all the glory to God! He has guided me through every high and low and has given me the ability to play the sport I love! I wouldn’t be where I am today without His constant unconditional love and support!

I want to thank Coach Vic, Coach Britt, Coach Rene, Coach Sean, Coach Travis and Coach Peter for believing in me and pushing me to be my best! I wouldn’t be who I am today without you all! Words can’t begin to express how grateful I am for the countless hours you’ve all poured into me to help me achieve my dreams!

To Coach Leo, you’ve helped me through my ups and downs with my swing and I can’t thank you enough! There is never a dull moment during our lessons and you’ve pushed me so much to become my best!

To Leah Murray, between being my defense coach and my trainer, you’ve helped me more than anyone knows. Thank you for supporting me and being there for me through every emotion. You will always be my biggest role model! I love you always!

To my parents, thank you for sacrificing every weekend to make my dreams come true. The countless early mornings, long car rides and late nights spent together is something I’ll always cherish. To my brother and sister, thank you for sitting through every inning, cheering the loudest and always being my biggest supporter. I love you all very much and can’t imagine what this process would’ve been like without yall!

To my teammates, thank you for being my life long best friends through everything! Always remember to trust His plan and path for you because everyone will find their home!

And to Coach Dot, Coach Fagan, Coach Sami, and Coach Kirby, thank you for giving me the opportunity to play at the next level and believing in me as not only an athlete but as a person as well! I can’t wait for what’s ahead! GO FLAMES AND GO GOD 🩵❤️🔥

A great weekend with @RockGold_Walker 🥎🔥

Finished 5-1 and made it all the way to the championship game. We fell just short, losing a hard-fought 1-0 game, but so proud of this group and the way we competed all weekend!

My weekend:

🥎 11.0 IP
🎯 42 batters faced
💥 17 Ks
🚫 0 earned runs
🔒 0.00 ERA
🔥 0.73 WHIP
⚡️ 6 hits allowed
👏 2 walks

Lots to be proud of, but always more to work on. Grateful for my teammates, coaches, and everyone who supports me.

Special thanks to all the college coaches that came to watch!!

Back to work! 💪🥎
