A day after being drafted by the Cleveland Comets, Arizona ace Taylor McQuillin sat in the dugout at Hillenbrand Stadium pepped with enthusiasm.
“It’s super exciting for all of the people that were drafted yesterday,” said the senior left-hander. “I mean, we spend the majority of our lives playing softball, trying to get college scholarships, play at the Division One level and everybody’s goal is to be able to continue playing the game after college.”
Well, maybe not everybody.
“I remember talking to her a year ago and she was kind of on the fence about it,” said UA outfielder Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza, who grew up with McQuillin in Mission Viejo, California.
