I'm really excited for this opportunity to try broadcasting. I'm a little nervous, but it's something I'm interested in down the line after my college days, so I am glad to get a shot at it now. This should be an exciting weekend to showcase pro softball and show the nation how exciting our sport is.
I knew of this award, but in my mind I never thought I'd get it,
I really didn't have my best stuff. My drop ball was inconsistent and they had a good game plan. I stopped worrying about striking people out and just focused on getting people out.
That's what I would do if I were facing me. They made me throw a lot of pitches.
And they know I didn't hold expectations for them like I do for myself. But I also tell them I'm not going to lower the expectations I do have for them because we're playing Division II.
It's fun. It's fun to be able to come out and see the kids smile and see them get excited.
The biggest thing is no matter what level I've played at, there is something I can bring to them.
It was hard once it got closer, and we tried to not think about it. But I knew it was coming, and I'm glad I got it.
It's pretty hot and humid out here but we all fought through. Our defense made great plays and I feel like I pitched pretty well. I was really trying to make the ball move and force groundouts and pop outs.
If I break records along the way, then it is nice, but I don't think that's why most of us are here.
