Softball opens non-traditional season this weekend
Get the scoop on this weekend's events and expand your background on this year's team.
St. Louis, Mo. - Fontbonne University softball just concluded their 7th Alumni Game Saturday evening including a fun night of bbq, babies, puppies and of course some fun softball.
The Griffins look to kick off their non-traditional season this Sunday as they host their 12th Annual Reverse Exposure event at ABC Ballpark. The Griffins are set to play Maryville at 10am, Missouri S&T at noon and UMSL at 2pm. All games are broadcast live with Tim Miller at collegecasts.com.
Kedroski was a strong recruit out of Washington, Mo./ Washington HS that will fill a big void at the middle infield position. She can hit for average, covers a bunch of ground on the infield, runs well and has strong arm.
Faulstich (Arnold, Mo./Seckman) was an early commitment, a middle infielder that provided the Griffins immediate relief. Recently released to compete full speed following a bad accident breaking her leg, her progress has been unmatched and her form and talent will help the Griffins fill either middle infield position lost to last year's graduates.
Fontbonne will look to returning starting pitchers Madi Leonard and Lindsay Schaefer to continue great work from the mound. Backing them up after getting her first season under her belt is Michelle Boyer.
Fontbonne lost five key players in shortstop Marissa Simon, center fielder Sarah Cerutti, second baseman Cara Hargate, outfielder Jessie Pratt and pitcher Kourtney Von Behren, all of whom were starters their entire careers.
