Here are some defensive clips as well! In both I am playing 2nd base.

In the first clip I am throwing the ball home for a tag play, and in the second I cut off our throw down to second and make the tag in the run down!

This season brought many challenges but also so many memories. I had an amazing meet at Roosevelt yesterday placing 3rd in my weight class with 2 new prs in deadlift and bench! 215 squat, 110 bench, 270 deadlift. A huge thank you to my coaches Uecker and Olivia, my teammates, and my family for always believing in me and pushing me to be my best self. See you next year WHS powerlifting!

The demand for softball pitching mats is growing rapidly as more facilities install synthetic turf fields.

But most pitching mats weren’t designed with turf installations in mind.

They slide.
They shift.
They create maintenance headaches.

That’s exactly why SpikeTek™ was developed.

Our spike-backed design anchors the mat securely to the surface, helping keep it exactly where it belongs without constant repositioning.

✔ Stable pitching surface
✔ No sliding or bunching
✔ Designed to work with synthetic turf installations

As more softball fields and training facilities are built across the country, contractors, turf companies, and facility operators are looking for solutions that perform long after installation.

That’s why our Signature, Ultimate and Pro spiked Mats are quickly becoming the preferred softball pitching mat for new field builds and facility upgrades.
