Tough loss today to end our season in Peoria. Overall my team and I had a great summer season! I ended the season with 101 AB’s, .505 BA, 41 RBI, 5HR, and 51 hits. I am super proud of this team and our growth this year. Here are some video clips from our past few games in Peoria! @CheetahsPS16u

As we wind down the season, we’re grinding with a 2 person pitching staff. I helped this weekend with 19K in 15IP and a 2.74 ERA. The change-up and rise were very effective and I’m loving keeping hitters off-balance. Here are a few of them. @Coach_Buck16 @CoachBooDickey @CoachKRyman @BoDomeBville @CoachPena_BSU @avrey_steiner @CoachBurns17 @JoRichwood @joshbaer24 @CoachC_Meg @CoachMalWinters @lizjagielski @CoachMWright3 @MorganNewport18 @riley_kelsch @sbsportsnetwork @AScholarsBrand @CoastRecruitsSB @FGS_softball @SoftballDown @ECanney

Had a great weekend in the ⭕️ at LP4U Stars & Stripes. Battled hard on Sunday, winning two ITB games before losing our third game in 7. Loved coming up big for my team. One of my favorite moments was a coach in the 1st bracket game on Sunday yelling at her team that my change up was my best pitch. My relationship with that pitch over the years has been complicated, so I took it as a major compliment. #neverstopgrowing

Another great weekend for the @CheetahsPS16u. Action packed Sunday going 2-3 with 2 international tie breakers!! I was able to contribute by throwing out the winning run at home from right, then getting a sac bunt down to advance the winning run!! @SBRRetweets @TOP_D1RECRUITS @TopPreps @sbsportsnetwork @SBCoachG @CoachStanton @TyraPerry13 @LUCCoachAbbott @lizjagielski @mandygardner24

Had an amazing time at the Purdue @DDSBandEvents camp yesterday. Loved the great infield drills and progressions in addition to the invaluable time with the coaches. Always love to talk pitching with @JoRichwood. Can’t wait for more @PurdueSoftball camps in the future! BOILER UP! @_NickyDawson @jordynrudd63 @CoachMFrezzotti @heather_gelbard @joshbaer24 @ECanney #CONNECT2025

Bad news: Game 2 didn’t work out as we hoped. @BellaBigham32 had a solid game, 2-2 2B and 2 RBI, but the bats never got going.

Good news: back at it Friday in Channahon at 3:55 @ Families of Faith Fields. Everyone in the pool is 1-1, so it should be interesting! See you there!
