1. Softball pitcher Julianna Birn (8) hurls the ball toward catcher Megan Mawhinney (8). Julianna concentrates on making her pitch as accurate as possible in order to lead the team to victory. The weather outside being a whopping ninety five degrees, the team begins the game with determination. Coach Stogner demands that the girls “be prepared and act as a team to show that we are serious about this game.”
2. Giselle Lopez (6) celebrates a victory enthusiastically. Excited by their accomplishment, she raises her arms. “That’s why I like softball,” she states. “I like how unpredictable and inclusive it is.”
3. Samantha Staudinger (8) eagerly prepares to swing her way to victory. She concentrates on her teammates and pitcher Julianna Birn (8). She practices her swing energetically before stepping up to the plate.
4. Claire Becker (8) races to scoop the ball as a first base player. “First base is where you catch all the balls thrown to you in order to get the other team’s players out,” she explains. Being first base is very important because it gives the team a leg up in getting as many points as possible.
