Having fun playing Death-Defying Softball™ and eating at El Molino and Beef-A-Roo since 1902. Not affiliated with CLS High School. Basically a sock puppet.

Breaking silence to bring you former CLS great Alexis Pupillo’s 1st #WCWS home run to tie the game. So cool.

Probably some people around here that know her, so here’s former Gator great Alexis Pupillo making her fall debut at Alabama after transferring from Northern Iowa. Had a chance to watch her last weekend and she appears to be fitting right in. @AlexisPupillo

After a lot of thought and consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal starting May 19th. I am beyond grateful for all I have experienced at UNI. I am super excited for what the future holds.

Congrats, Pup.

What's especially impressive is that she is the only player on this list whose team is not in the Top 25. She is THAT good.

Back to sleep.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The latest award for @CLSouthHS grad Alexis Pupillo is an impressive one - a spot on the @D1Softball Freshman All-American team. The Northern Iowa catcher led the Panthers with a .413 batting average and 17 homers in her first season in Cedar Falls. @NWHPreps

Sincere condolences to former CL South great Abby Baer and her family. Her parents tragically died in the I-55 car crash this week.

Her dad Joe was a long time supporter and treasurer of the Crystal Lake Girls Softball rec league program.

Highly recommend this series. Great recounting of the early history of Title IX.

@christinat144 Thanks, Christina. That’s very nice of you. Have a great season!

[Gator Softball @CLSSoftball]

…other interactions with them. As I’ve gotten older, being around them has kept me feeling young, and for that I’ll always be thankful.

Thanks, guys.

One last thing. Most importantly, thanks to all of the players who have welcomed me and into their lives. What a great bunch of student athletes I’ve had a chance to coach. I’ve been to former player’s weddings, been to their children’s birthday parties, and have had countless…

@mrmorettid155 Maybe.

@HuntleySoftball Thanks, Mark. Same here.

[Gator Softball @CLSSoftball]

It’s not often in life that you get a chance to have a “job” where you get to do something you love doing, where you meet people who become lifelong friends, where you get to coach your own children,... 5/

[Gator Softball @CLSSoftball]

I never would have imagined that I would have had the chance to coach at CLS as long as I did. And if all of the players over those years benefited even as half as much from me as I have from them, I’ll consider it a success. 4/

[Gator Softball @CLSSoftball]

From the CLS coaches that I have had the chance to work and become friends with along with opposing coaches and umpires, it’s been a great run. 3/

[Gator Softball @CLSSoftball]

I can’t think of anything I could have spent my time on during those years that would have made me happier. 2/

[Gator Softball @CLSSoftball]

Since it’s the first day of tryouts, today is as good a day as any to thank CLS for allowing me 17 great years coaching varsity softball. 1/

[Gator Softball @CLSSoftball]

It’s always a little surreal to tune in to a little softball and seeing a college player that you coached just a few months ago. Good luck, Brooke!
