2014 Tech Softball Capsule

TECH

Head coach: Todd Herrick, sixth season

2013 record: 16-17 (7-5 Sunrise, third)

Returning letter winners (starters): Eight (five)

Top players: SS Kimmie Rodriguez (Sr.), C Ashley Ramsey (Sr.), 1B Emmalyne Laymon (Sr.)

Outlook: The Roadrunners bring back eight letter winners from a team that placed third in the Sunrise League.

“We will have a good core of experienced players to mix with new talent,” Herrick said. “There will be open competition to fill the second base and third base spots, and the Roadrunners will go with two freshmen and a sophomore in the circle.”

Tech’s home field is unplayable, so the team will practice at Stephanie Lynn Craig park and play scheduled home games at Anthem Hills Park.

“Even with the current field situation, we had more players (58) than ever try out this year, and I am expecting a very competitive and hard-working group,” Herrick said.”
