My daughter spends most of her time practicing and improving. She spent 10 years playing baseball before switching to softball.
Thank you for generously supporting Lainey in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
She loves most the competition together as friends. Working hard together to make each other better had created a strong bond.
She wears #17 because when she was younger she was inspired by NHL player Wayne Simmons who was a player who stood out for being physically different just as she did while often being the only girl on a baseball team.
She received a concussion in a game from a bad hop. After the healing process, she fought back against the fear of a repeat incident to become even better.
