Yesterday was the FCIAC quarterfinal game #2 Danbury vs #7 Fairfield-Warde. We were down 6-2 in the bottom of 6th, I got up to bat with bases loaded and no outs, and I tied the game with a grand slam!! My teammates manufactured another run to take the lead 7-6! So proud of the team effort to send us to the FCIAC semi-finals next Tuesday! Let’s go!! #gohatters

Had such a fun weekend getting back out onto the field with my girls!! I can’t wait for the rest of the summer with this team! I was happy to contribute against 18U competition by batting .364 with a 1.053 OPS. I had three singles and a homerun. I also had a lot of action at 3B with 4 putouts! I attached the video of my homerun and a video of my defense below. Another highlight of this weekend was being able to see my @IrishFPSoftball teammate @Averyfallon2027💚🧡

I was needed at 1st base yesterday in our FCIAC playoff game vs Fairfield-Warde and was super happy to contribute on this 6-3-2 inning ending double play to keep a run from scoring in a 0-0 game!

Thank you Coach Weekly for the invite to visit the University of Tennessee. The @Vol_Softball experience camp was truly an amazing experience. I loved getting to meet and work with the coaching staff (@KarenWeekly @Coach_SniderSB, @SLSanders20, and @MRhodesSmith), tour the campus and facilities, and take in the SEC environment. Can’t wait to visit again! #govols

Great start to the season in my first high school game as a sophomore with a big win against Amity 9-5!! It was a great team effort all around with great pitching and hitting. I went 2-3 with 2 HRs and drove in 4 RBIs. In my third AB, I hit a 3-run HR in a tie game to put us up 6-3!! So happy to have contributed in big moments and so proud of the team for getting the W!! Also, so happy that 3 of my 9U girls came to watch!!
