Title: Softball's Traina comes through in clutch Post by: pmull on May 31, 2011, 04:59:17 PM Every great athlete has a defining moment. For Jackie Traina, it came last Friday when she came out of the bullpen to retire 11 batters in order to lead the University of Alabama softball team past Stanford in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional.
"That," Crimson Tide coach Patrick Murphy beamed, "is what I recruited her for." Traina, a freshman from Naples, Fla., came to Alabama as one of the nation's most highly-recruited prospects. She goes to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City as one of the country's most feared pitchers, especially after clocking as high as 74 mph on the radar gun against Stanford. http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1226999 Title: Re: Softball's Traina comes through in clutch Post by: BAMAWV on May 31, 2011, 05:15:38 PM Every great athlete has a defining moment.
