Add to that two very talented incoming pitchers and a returning pitcher and he believes this year’s team has a chance to make a run late in the season. “Hitting will definitely be our strength early in the year,” Baumert said. “But we are very excited about the po- tential of our incoming pitchers.” Leading the way at the plate will be sophomore Mikkel Griffin. The 5-6 second baseman hit .480 with 20 home runs as a freshman and earned All-American honors. Close behind her was shortstop Kelsey Bryant. Bryant earned second-team Region 18 honors by hitting .423 at the plate with 11 home runs. Other big swing- ing returners included DH Lyndi Miller (.337, 8 home runs) and third baseman Marina Groenewegen (.307, 11 doubles). Add to that returning speed kids Marie Williams (.335, 12 stolen bases) and Jessica Albertson (.278, 14 stolen bases) and the Golden Eagles begin the season with a potent arsenal. Albertson and Williams (first team Region 18 selection) will anchor the CSI outfield. They will be joined by Holly Ritz, Andrea Jorgensen and sophmore transfer Latieshia Webster. Webster hit five home runs last season for Colorado NW. “We are excited with the depth this season in the outfield,” Baumert said. “We will have quite a bit of speed but also have some outfielders with power.” The only infield spot without a returning starter was first base. Baumert said he expects freshman Nikki Brailsford to step in and contribute right away. Bryant,
