Auburn softball lost its best returning player for next year’s team when catcher Carlee Wallace shockingly announced that she is leaving the Tigers. Her presence at the plate and behind it earned her the name “Clutch Carlee.” She was tied for first in at-bats with 177 and ranked third on the team in batting, second in on-base percentage, first in RBI’s and first in slugging percentage, all while having the fewest strikeouts of any starter on the team.
Wallace is the second returning starter to leave the program since the end of the season. Just weeks ago, Whitney Jordan announced she was retiring from the game.
