"Carrico is a month and a half into her sophomore season as a key contributor, following her freshman year when she did not play. Through her first 17 collegiate appearances, she has a team-best 7-0 record and 1.45 earned run average. In 58 innings pitched, she has accrued 76 strikeouts and given up just two home runs. “[Emma Lemley] was here last year, and she was a great person to look up to,” Carrico said. “I was just pushing myself every day in practice, and then went home over the summer and put in work every single day — because I wanted to pitch. I wanted to be at this level. And Lem is still here this year, so she’s been pushing me since the fall. I just love having her on my side.” I LOVE IT when success comes to young people that work hard and it's apparent that Bree really put in the work during the summer!!!!!

players that care about mentoring others - seems perhaps that Lemley was one of those.

She's "been there, done that," and invaluable asset for the youngins'

team very very good. And if we get some breaks along the way, which every team needs along the way, well … fun to consider. Two very good pitchers is a huge huge piece. But we just take it a game at a time and cheer them on and support them. And appreciate what we have. In these days of NIL that taint so many college sports, it sure is nice to have this team to watch! My (semi) rant for the weekend.
