*edit* 2012-2013 Softball Previews

Post by Kazz »

Softball HC Bob Coolen on ESPN 1420 AM this morning:

-Mentions LBSU and Cal St. Fullerton as “rivals” in the Big West. Disappointed with loss of Pacific after this upcoming season. Will be playing AT UOP in final game of the conference season.

-Echoes same sentiment as women’s volleyball in that there is no time for “posturing” in the Big West regular season as there is no tournament like the WAC. Top team at the end of the regular season gets the auto bid to the NCAAs.

-Fresno State doesn’t appear to be on the schedule for non-conference games for a few years. Addition of Boise State and SDSU to the Big West Softball schedules doesn’t make room for it.

-Says make-up of the program will change drastically after this season following the departures of Kaia Parnaby, Kelly Majam, and Jessica Iwata. Capable incoming freshman this season followed by a strong recruiting class for 2013. LOI for 2013 comes this November.

-Parnaby #1 for sure and at the time says Keiki Carlos looking to be a strong #2 behind her. Expects Parnaby to throw 35-40 games of the 56 scheduled for this season.

-Has teams like Washington, CAL, Baylor, Alabama-Birmingham, and Memphis on the home non-conference schedule. Will face teams like UCLA and BYU on road at UNLV as part of Louisville Slugger Desert Classic Tourney in February. Full schedule not finalized for release yet.

-Still no word on status of admission for softball games. Hasn’t heard a word from administration since the summer.

Kinda late but…

Last Friday was the team’s first scrimmage of the fall. Kinda shakey, lots to work on with a BIG freshmen class this fall consisting of Kristina Akiona, Alyssa Villalpando, pitchers Loie Kesterson and Keiki Carlos, Dori Sugai, Ciana Russ, Kiani Wong, and Nohea Keaunui-Gould.

Last year’s returnees were paired up with some new faces at positions up for grabs as follows:

Catcher – Kayla Wartner
1st Leisha Li’ili’i
2nd Jazmine Zamora
3rd Austin Wilkerson
SS Kristina Akiona (Coolen limiting Iwata’s throwing due to shoulder)
Left field Sharla Kliebenstein
Center Kelly Majam
Right field Brynne Buchanan
DP – Jessica Iwata

Battery was set up with Kaia Parnaby pitching against what was the penciled in “starters” mentioned above and Lauren Parnaby caught for her. Loie Kesterson pitched against the rest with Kayla Wartner catching.

The line ups changed and substiutions began after two innings and I cannot recall off-hand who went were. Everyone played though.

Again 2nd base has a lot of bodies competing for that spot.

Next scrimmage open to the public is TOMORROW. Team warms up at 3:30pm, starts at 4:30pm.
