This evening IU softball hosted Purdue for a doubleheader. It was faculty and staff appreciation night. As a part of that the players were asked to select a person who makes a big impact on their time on campus. So the starting catcher, Bella Norton, nominated The Yankee:
Norton went 3-6 on the night and the Hoosiers split the double-dip. She’s a fine catcher, commands the field as a fiery competitor and she works with a terrific all-conference caliber pitcher. Also, I had her in class last year, which was a good deal of fun. But The Yankee got the autograph tonight.
