“I see lots of speed and a lot of power on this team. I think we’re doing a really good job in the circle and I’m excited to see how the pitcher’s fare during the World Cup against the older international teams. We’re doing what we need to at the plate, making adjustments, hitting behind the runners and getting the big hits. We’re just out there playing catch and taking care of business on the field, which is always good to see.”
The USA Softball JWNT now set their sights on their first international contest of the season during the World Cup of Softball XII in Oklahoma City, Okla. The JWNT will compete against tough competition, facing the top four-ranked countries in the world as the team prepares for the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Junior Women’s World Championship.
