Giselle Juarez was in this spot last year, but the colors she sported were a few shades darker. What is now crimson was a deep maroon. The cream was formerly gold.
“This is kind of funny,” Juarez told her catcher, Lynnsie Elam, as she walked on the field at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium. “The last time I was here, I was playing Oklahoma. Now I’m on their side.”
Oklahoma eliminated Arizona State from the 2018 Women’s College World Series. Juarez started that final game for the Sun Devils.
Jocelyn Alo hit a home run against her.
