“What does softball mean to me” From the chalked up dirt to the green grass in the outfield the softball field is where I always want to be.

Everyone shares the same love for the game‚ which makes

Throughout the softball season‚ Coach Tash motivated all of us everyday whether it was at practice or in the middle of a game. She told us that we
