Former College Softball Stars Headline Team USA Slowpitch National Team Roster

A group of former college softball stars were named to the US National Slowpitch team earlier this week.

Former Longwood slugger Megan Baltzell, ex-North Carolina star Amber Parrish, former New Mexico State standout Fiana Finau, and ex-Cleveland State and professional player Dara Toman are among the thirteen players named to the roster on Wednesday.

Both Baltzell and Finau are part of the 50-home run club from their collegiate days, with Baltzell finishing her career with 76 longballs and Finau notching exactly 50 during her own career.

Parrish was an all-ACC catcher at North Carolina who ended her own college career with 41 career bombs. Toman played at Cleveland State, earning both all-conference and all-region honors before embarking on a professional softball career.

All four of the former fastpitch stars are veteran slowpitch players.
