While the final score got lopsided, don’t sleep on Tarleton State

This is a good team

They won 38 games last season and played for the WAC Tourney championship

This was a 3-0 game after 6 innings and the Texans pitchers did a nice job against OU including Shelby Schultz

Congratulations to the 2026 All-Met softball selections!

Following The Washington Post’s decision in February to discontinue its high school sports coverage and the All-Met program, members of our DMV softball community came together to carry forward a tradition more than 40 years in the making. Recognizing the outstanding high school softball athletes in our region.

A huge thank you to the all of the high school coaches who submitted athletes for consideration, as well as the selection panel of sports media members and former and current softball coaches from Maryland and Virginia.

I would also like to honor the memory of the late Rob Hahne. When the Washington Post announced the end of All-Met, Rob galvanized the diamond sports community to ensure this tradition would not disappear. He was working to carry it forward when he passed away suddenly in May. It means a great deal to see that work continue and our area’s athletes receive the recognition they deserve.

Thank you to everyone who supported this project and helped make it possible.

Way to go Celia, Riley, Faith, Mya, Rachael, Norah, Catherine, Lauren, Abby, Sophia, Elaina, Peyton, Rylan, Melody, Jenna!

An extension didn’t seem likely for Megan Bartlett after her first 2 years at ASU

The Sun Devils were 42-58

But Bartlett quickly turned things around and has gone 80-39 in the last 2 years

In 2026, ASU went 45-18, won the Big 12 Tourney and advanced to a Super Regional

Isa Torres did a bunch of remarkable things for Florida State last season

Even if you are a .500 hitter, the odds of getting 16 hits in a row is one in 65,536

And then, going an entire regular season without an error…While playing shortstop

And now she’s w/ 2x champ Texas
