Emily also stated this: "Plus, who doesn't want to live in the coldest part of New York?"

Emily started playing T-ball when she was 3 years old. She played travel for the Kent White Sox from 9U-18U.  She has played tournament since she was 12 for Challenge, Empire State Huskies, Dutchess Debs and the Diamond Dolls.  She has played every single position, she would tell her coaches to put her where ever they want and she would play. She loved playing every position and getting to know the responsibilities, it has helped her really understand the flow of the entire field.  Her favorite positions were catching, first base and outfield.

Plus she got to jump into giant piles of leaves!

  

Favorite moment so far while being apart of the Plattsburgh State Softball Team and WHY?  

 

Emily loved every team bonding experience.
