Her mother comes from a family that has been near and dear to this reporter's heart since childhood. Her father was very instrumental in my development as a baseball player by providing me and countless friends with opportunities to hone our baseball skills both here in the Charlie Ritchie League and in Black Stone City, Coahuila. Her cousin is now the head coach of The CC Winn Maverick Softball Team and her father played with us in Little League.
