#HIT4ACURE UPDATE

TLI likes to keep tabs on players that have been featured on Extra Inning Softball, (Insert link in bold on especially the feel-good story of Texas Glory 2024 C/1B/3B Savanna Luther and her father, Scotty, who was diagnosed with Stage 3 throat cancer earlier this year. Thankfully, Scotty is in remission. Savanna has been putting her custom-made DeMarini #Hit4aCure bat to good use.

My Dad wasn’t able 2 watch me play allot this yr due 2 cancer,I had dedicated this yr 2 him and cancer awareness. I'm so glad he's bk and last night I used my DeMarini #hit4acure  Wrkn on metrics BS #70   @rickcowan68 @DeMariniFP @StriveSoftball @SoftballConnect@ASBAsoftball pic.twitter.com/lc3NrsuFZB

MAC BARBARA’S READY FOR THE SOFTBALL SEASON

TLI was a huge fan of the Japan-based Pride Fighting Championships from the early 2000s and we believe Ole Miss freshman slugger Mac Barbara would fit right in at Pride if this Rebels hype video is any indication.

are you ready….for softball season? pic.twitter.com/hnLYSL47lq

****Can we please give Mac Barbara Pride entrances complete with Screaming Lady for her walk-outs this season?

SPORTS MATHEMATICS

Seton Hall coach Paige Smith is a wise woman and she broke down the statistics in a recent Tweet. TLI believes in sports mathematics and science. BTW, dinosaurs existed.

For those athletes hitting your breaking point during finals. Yes, it’s all worth it.

52% of senior female executives competed at the university level and 80% of the female Fortune 500 executives played competitive sports
