We are incredibly proud of you, sweet girl. Dad & I would follow you & your sisters to every corner of the world to cheer you on, but having you close is extra special. We will always be grateful to Coach Gumpf & the ND 🥎 staff for this opportunity. Go Irish! 🍀 Now go earn it!
Inducted into the Indiana Softball Hall of Fame last night. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my career. I love this game and have been blessed beyond belief. Thank you to the ICGSA.
Thank you to the Penn Baseball team for taking time out of your practice to walk over to our practice and bring Lilly flowers (Lilies) and a card. You are the best!
