Caitlin Lowe was officially introduced as Arizona softball’s new head coach on Wednesday but she doesn’t have much time to soak it in.
"We start recruiting tomorrow," she said.
Lowe said the 2021.
Lake Central won 4-2 at home in the rivals first meeting this season, but Lucka said she felt confident in the rematch, which could potentially be a trilogy if both teams win their sectionals and advance to a Class 4A regional June 1. I knew my defense was behind me, and they did so good, Lucka said. They were perfect, so I was just trying to play for them and pitch my best game.
Lucka ended the game by striking out Indians senior and Eastern Illinois recruit Mikayla Creasbaum in the top of the seventh inning, and Lucka s teammates immediately rushed the diamond to give her a group hug.
The senior struck out the first nine batters. I wasn t really paying attention to it until somebody said something to me, Pepkowski said. I was just going out there and throwing my game.
But as the Bulldogs looked to stage a late comeback, it was actually Pepkowski s teammate, catcher Jordan August, who slammed the door shut.
With two outs in hand thanks to a pair of strikeouts from Pepkowski, August recorded the last out of the game by picking off Crown Point s Audrey Williams, who was trying to steal second base. Shortstop Sydney Doloszycki caught August s timely throw and tagged Williams to cap off the Indians 4-2 Duneland Athletic Conference home victory.
MAXPREPS High school softball: California s Chino Hills begins 2021 season atop preseason MaxPreps Top 25 rankings Huskies lead seven Golden State teams among nation s best looking to return to action after missing 2020 play.
As the 2021 high school softball inches closer to first pitch, questions persist. Of the 44 states that play spring ball, which ones will have a season? Will a powerhouse state like California be allowed to play ball? Who is the top team in the land?
This year s preseason MaxPreps Top 25 high school softball rankings has seven teams from the Golden State, including Chino Hills which begins at No. 1. Nebraska signee Kendall Mangel has 58 total wins in the circle in just over two years for the Huskies and hopes to lace up her spikes for her senior season.
