@MeaganDWhite216 A beautiful tribute and so sorry for you and your children. Definitely in prayers, including prayers for your consolation and peace...

@AmosBHuron @JulesJackson22 @ExtraInningSB Agree to disagree. We work with top coaches, players and parents who appreciate being recognized for their hard work. And, no, I never hung out at my kids' parties... just paid for them. lol

@coachTY_s @ExtraInningSB You're right. Extra Inning Softball covers the sport from youth up through pro & international and averaged 5.4 stories each and every day of 2022. The goal is to honor & recognize these tremendous athletes and their dedication editorially. Guess that makes us losers.

@DudeczkaRobert @ExtraInningSB The players' club coaches primarily... as they're with them the most and know the talent and intangibles.

@JulesJackson22 @ExtraInningSB Jules: This is Brentt Eads of Extra Inning Softball... thank you for speaking up. The rankings are first and foremost to honor players like you who work hard and are busting their tails to get to the next level. Players like you are what makes this sport be great!

@loritherese12 @ExtraInningSB I believe you mean "certify," yes? Nominations are taken from club coaches who work with the players and compete against other top players and teams.

@monicabalsiger @ExtraInningSB I agree... these kids in the Olympics like gymnasts should be allowed to compete internally when they're 12 or 13.

@loritherese12 @ExtraInningSB That's interesting... and you know this how? And how much do the editors take to do this? Will be interesting to see your "proof."

@glovecon1 @ExtraInningSB Really? How is this done? Have you seen it personally and can provide evidence of it?

@GloryGuy99 @ExtraInningSB Hey Mike, thanks for your comments and know we love and respect what you do for the sport and the athletes. This topic comes up frequently and we've been working on an article addressing this subject which we'll publish in the next few days...

@TCSFastpitch @FuryPlatinum @triplecrownspts @COSparkFire @recruit_tc @ChilesFPNTNL @CSA_Athletes Well done, Sophia! Excellent insights and love your talent at writing!

@addisynlinton Wow... that is a beautiful noise! The sound of the ball crying "Ackkkkk!" (as in, ouch, that really hurts!).

@AddisenFisher @UCLASoftball @NWBullets18gold @MuirDennis @ByBrianRathbone @NikStreng @jerryulmer @Los_Stuff @PGFnetwork @SoftbalAmerica @ExtraInningSB Congratulations Addisen! Another amazing milestone in your already accomplished career!

@justfactsmaam What the heck is the story behind this?!? I thought it was between innings at first but looks like it's in-game! lol

@NeGold_Neumayer On behalf of all of us at Extra Inning Softball, we send our love, thoughts and prayers to Paige's family, the Nebraska Gold organization and all who are hurting today...

We continue our look at the preseason Extra Elite Eighty 18U Club Rankings for 2022 by spotlighting the teams ranked #'s 30-21.

@CoachBurns17 Matt, this is Brentt @ Extra Inning Softball... can you call me? Got your note and want to make sure we're on the same page! 310-918-4216

@wagnerds44 Penny, I got your message and would love to do the article you suggested. Reach me at brentt.eads@extrainningsoftball.com. Thanks, Brentt!

@sammy24257350 @ExtraInningSB Really? You hide behind a name and a USC logo and you accuse Extra Inning Softball of trying to get clicks? No, I was respecting the privacy of Mia Williams, who it is now public dislocated her ankle and broke several bones. Wanted the softball community to have her in prayers.

@Carla54951788 @ExtraInningSB Carla... your point is valid, I was in shock and wanted to protect privacy while in my mind was trying to define a very good player was injured. It came out clumsily and I apologize.
