Sophomore catcher Kati Ray Brown is up to bat. Her “Star Wars” walk-up song, Doshka by Mus Kat and Nalpak, echoes throughout Cougar Softball Stadium.
On this particular overcast Sunday in a game against Oregon State, Brown goes perfect at the plate, drawing a walk in her first at-bat, blasting a go-ahead two-run homer the second time around and hitting a single in her final at-bat.
Success within UH athletics is nothing new for Brown. She has been around it her whole life.
There is a picture of Brown when she was a 1-year-old with her sister, Kendall Brown, who was 5 years old at the time, and they are both in UH cheer uniforms at a football game.
