Danielle Klassen: Dani continues to be used in a DH role so although her playing time is limited she continues to be effective. Dodge City was scheduled to play 6 games this week but thanks to the weather only 4 got played. In the first game they played, the Manitoba connection came through again. Dani’s first at bat was a single which scored a run and advanced another runner to 3rd. Batting next was Crash who promptly stepped to the plate and hit a 3 run homer. Dodge went on to win this game in 5 innings and was helped by the pitching of another Manitoba girl Jaycee Morris who threw a four hitter. Dodge City went on to win the second game of the double header in 5 innings. Dani’s batting average remains around the .450 mark and she has 6 stolen bases.

Makensy Payne: One of Makensy’s goals for this season was to improve her power numbers while maintaining her batting average and continuing to “spray” the ball all over the field. So far she’s done that, with more extra base hits this season than all of last season. This week, in her first at bat, she met another one of her personal goals: Crash hit her first college ball home run, a three run liner over the fence in right centre. It was an emotional moment, one that caused a lot of screaming among the players and even a few tears! That blast started the whole team off to a big week and, although they had one loss in a 3-1 game, this week’s three wins were all blowouts.
