Lady Spartans compete in their second home game Lovely Lindsey

Lindsey started every single game her freshman year as short stop. As a former teammate of hers, I think it is accurate to say that she rarely let a ball pass and had many amazing hits. During her sophomore year, she was moved to the catching position and continues to work very hard at getting better. As an all-around ace at most positions, except for pitching, she puts every bit of her heart into the game. Talk about dedication and love for the game, this girl works Photo by Holli Skyles hard!
