Softball Player of the Year Sarah Pruitt Senior North Mason - Shortstop . About Pruitt: A three—year starter for the Bulldogs, Pruitt hit .500 with a .615 on-base percentage and a .750 slugging percentage. She finished the year with 20 hits, including 10 for extra bases with 13 RBI and 21 runs scored in helping North Mason reach districts. Sarah Pruitt’s comments: “This season definitely wasn’t our best season, but I think it showed a lot of girls, especially the younger ones, what they need to work on before next season. Our last game at districts was definitely an exciting game and it was awesome to see the girls not give up, and not stop battling until the very end. I will definitely miss high school softball so much and making memories with the team. Thank you to our assistant coach Jack Worthington for everything you have done and being our emotional support human. I am excited to see where the future of North Mason softball holds with all of the talent coming up from the middle school.” ‘ Coach Steve Valley’s comments: “Sarah is a great person and a great athlete, she .worked hard every day, she always demonstrated a positive attitude. Sarah was not shy about helping other players. She was an outstanding shortstop and helped all the infield with field- ing techniques and pushed them all to be better. She will be greatly missed. and it willbe hard to replace everything she did for the team and the school.” Danyka Squire, Shelton Thursday, June 22, 2023 — Shelton-Mason County Journal Page 28 mam; mamas Softball Pitcher of the Year Ally Baumgart Senior Shelton Pitcher/Shortstop About Baumgart: A third-year starter in the circle for the High— climbers, Baumgart also hit .500 with 21 hits. She had 15 extra—base hits, including six home runs, 15 runs scored and 17 RBI. Baumgart had a 1.143 slugging percentage and a .600 on—base percentage for the Highclimbers. Ally Baumgart’s comments: “While pitching isn’t'my first posi— tion and I’m going to college to be a shortstop, I really did enjoy my senior year. I worked and worked during my off-season to do my best and produce for my team, and felt that I did that even if we didn’t go to state. It’s crazy to me that I got voted pitcher of the year, but it was a very welcome surprise.” ' Coach Rich Squire’s comments: “Ally this year really stepped up for this t ram and stepped into the role as our starting pitcher. Her strength was being able to focus on the job at hand. She got stronger as the year went on. Ally was able to shake it off when she would get a ground ball or a fly ball and the defense was unable to get her the outs. She pitched several games which she would have to get four or five outs an inning. Ally worked really hard in the off—season being able to throw multiple pitches and keep batters of? balance.” ' Jenna Markuson, North Mason
