Is there a shopping cart anywhere on the planet that functions properly?

PGF weekend didn’t end the way we wanted, but I’m really proud of our team and how we competed. We definitely have some things to clean up and work on, but I know we’ll get back to work and come out better!

I went 2-for-5 with a single, double, 3 RBI, HBP and a walk.

And I guess my HBP wanted to stick around… because I’ve got a pretty good bruise to show for it. 🥎

Lots to learn from this weekend. Can’t wait to get back out there with this team! 💪🔥

(Also, sorry for the choppy videos — the service wasn’t great!)

New season, new PR! So close to 60 with a 59.2 bat speed today. All the heavy gym work and training with my strength coach are really starting to pay off. Ready for a huge year. 🥎🔥💪

Back from the break and ready to put in the work. Finally got on the field with the squad and these girls are absolute competitors—hardworking, locked in, and a ton of fun to be around.

Here is what the Fall/Winter 2026-27 slate looks like with Finesse 14U - Dessert (subject to change as we go)! Let’s get it. 🥎🔥

This Saturday we finally get to hit the field together for our first practice as Finesse Fastpitch 14U Dessert! I can’t wait to meet the girls, get to work, and start building something special together. 💙

And now we have something BIG to look forward to…

🏆 My first PGF event!
🌟 Michigan Fall State Championship
📍 Shelby Township, MI
📅 September 25–27, 2026
The turnaround has been quick, but I’m excited for this next chapter and even more excited for the hard work, training, and preparation ahead to get ready for this tournament.
New team. New opportunity. Same love for the game. 💙🥎
This is what we’ve been training for. Let’s go, Finesse! 🔥

First season playing in US ball brought a massive adjustment to the speed and talent, and starting slow made the climb that much harder. But trusting the process, learning a brand new position as a starting left fielder and occasional center fielder (having never played the outfield before!), and putting in the work turned everything around.
Incredible way to wrap things up with 13U:
🔸 .408 BA (2nd on team)
🔸 31 Hits (3rd on team)
🔸 27 RBI (3rd on team)
🔸 FEWEST strikeouts on the roster!
Grind, growth, and trusting the journey. Ready to keep working! 🇺🇸⚾️⚡️

One season ends, and another begins. 🥎💙

The excitement is building! Last night was uniform fitting for the upcoming season with Finesse Fastpitch. It was great meeting some of the girls, hanging out, and getting a glimpse of what’s ahead. It was also nice having the chance to chat with the coaches off the field.

A big thank you to @DOApparel for getting everyone fitted and ready for the season!

Can’t wait to get started. Let’s go, @FinesseFastpitch! 💪🥎 #Fastpitch #NewSeason #TeamFinesse #SoftballLife

To my Bees family: thank you for the laughs, the tears, the wins, and for being true sisters since September. To my coaches, thank you for shaping me into the player I am today. Leaving is tough, but a piece of my heart is always with you. 🐝💙
Now, it’s time to turn the page. So fired up and ready to get to work with my new squad at Finesse 14U - Dessert this fall! Can't wait to meet the crew, hit the turf, and grind. Let’s get after it! 🥎⚡️

One last tournament, same family, forever Bees 🐝💙

It’s crazy to think this is our final weekend stepping on the field together. From the very first practice to this last ride at Cedar Point, every single moment, laugh, and memory with this team has meant everything.

To my coaches: thank you for pushing us, believing in us, and making us better players and teammates. To my girls: we’ve been through it all together. You aren't just teammates, you're family.
Let’s leave it all out there this weekend and make it one to remember! 🥎✨

Bracket play battle! We fought through a nail-biter and pulled out an 8-7 win in extras.
Tournament totals are 4/8 with 4 RBI and a walk, plus some lockdown work in the outfield. The GameChanger video wasn’t fully functional, so I don't have clips of two of those singles, but the production continues. Ready to keep building tomorrow—first pitch at 12:30 PM.

Beach Bash weekend. 🌊🥎

Grateful for another chance to compete with this group. It's hard to believe we only have two tournaments left together before everyone starts new chapters. No matter what comes next, I'm thankful for the memories, the laughs, and every battle we've shared on the field. ❤️🐝

Time to play for each other, leave it all on the field, and enjoy every inning.

In LF again for game 2. 1-for-2 with an RBI in our 13-9 loss today. Tough defensive test—we were playing deep against a heavy-hitting lineup, but I was able to track down a tough ball in the gap to rob extra bases.

Day 1 Totals: 5/6, 5 RBI, Double, 4 Put Outs.

Staying disciplined and ready to battle back tomorrow. 1-1 entering Day 2.

4-for-4 with 4 RBI and a double today in our 14-1 win. Kept my hands back on a 2-strike changeup for a base hit and drove one to dead center. I only had one defensive chance, so I made sure to crash hard on the flare and secure the out. Always ready to compete.

Highlights from Game 1:

Wednesday recap: 1/3 with a walk. Squared up two hard line drives that were right at them, and managed to find a flare over 1B for a base hit. Some days the barrels find grass, some days they find the glove—all about staying consistent with the approach. Really proud of how @TeamAccount fought today; we’re doing a great job moving the line together. Let’s keep this momentum rolling! ⚡️

It’s officially Michigan State Championship week and the energy is different. 🐝 The work we’ve put in as a team has us locked in, and every single one of us is ready to leave it all on the dirt.

I’ve stayed focused on my own preparation, but I’m even more locked in on what this group can do together. We’re ready to attack pool play and carry that intensity through bracket play this Saturday and Sunday. Time to show what Detroit Bees softball is all about. Let’s go to work! 🥎🔥

Not every at-bat is glamorous. My timing was a little off in my first trip, but sometimes getting just enough of it in the right spot gets the job done. Seeing-eye single, 2 RBI.

Also took one off the helmet (I’m good), drew a walk, stole 2 bags, and made the catch on the only ball hit my way in my first start in CF—while battling the sun.

Back to work tonight. The grind never stops. 💪🥎

Tough battle today, but proud of how the team fought until the very end.

Really happy with the mental approach. Was sitting changeup in a count that demanded it, but when she came with a 2-strike heater, I was able to trust my hands, react, and sneak one over first base for a lead-off single. Proud to keep the focus on quality barrels over results. Even in extras, when I probably shouldn't have offered at that high pitch, I was able to get it down to move the runners for the team.

Already locked in for the next one. Let’s keep grinding.

Tough loss in the semis yesterday, but we took it all the way to extras. Had a busy game in LF and was feeling good about my reads.

Highlights:

- Chased down a tough one down the line.
- Kept it clean on routine plays.
- Almost hosed one at the plate—loved the intensity of that play!

Learning a lot from these high-pressure games.
