ith nine freshman and only two seniors on the active roster to begin the season, the Appalachian State softball team knew they would need hefty contributions from their new additions.
While the team has continued to struggle this season as it did last year, two freshmen have stood out as potential stars for the Mountaineers’ future.
Freshman catcher Jenny Dodd and freshman outfielder Natalie Orcutt have made contributions, both batting and fielding, for Appalachian State this season.
Coming from Mocksville, North Carolina, Dodd has started as catcher for the Mountaineers in all 34 games this season, committing only one error.
