SOFTBALL DAD STUFF
TLI came across this Tweet last weekend and it looked almost identical to TLI’s Extra Inning Softball Headquarters in Fresno, CA.

Woody Ramos was doing his best to keep track of his three daughters — Purdue-commit Jordyn Ramos, 16, of American Pastime Gold 16U-Velasquez, Kenya Valdivia, 14, of Las Vegas Rage 16U-Pedersen and Taylor Ramos, 13, of American Pastime 14U-Vince and Las Vegas Rage 16U-Pedersen — last weekend.
“All we do is softball, all day every day,” Woody said. “Love it.”
CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP WARRIORS
We love to highlight those Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Warriors around the nation, so here we go:

COMMITMENT ALERTS
Amanda Hasler, 2022, Rhode Island Thunder Gold-Lotti, North Carolina State
First off, I would like to thank the coaches at UK for giving me the opportunity to play at Kentucky. After a period of time, I have come to realize that the college I belong at to further my academic and athletic career is at NC State Univ. pic.twitter.com/ZAHZfABr8L

BASEBALL PERCEPTION
TLI got a chance to cover Jordan Taylor back when she was playing for Valencia High, CA. There were two Valencias in So Cal, so TLI referred Taylor’s Valencia High as Valencia of Magic Mountain, because it was located a couple blocks from Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Anyways, Taylor was one of the best pitchers TLI ever had the pleasure of covering and she was a great teammate with an awesome personality. She went on to be an All-American at Michigan, she played for Team USA and in the National Pro Fastpitch league.
She had a pretty hilarious take on baseball players on Twitter over the weekend.

DUCK, DUCK, GOOSE!
Arizona’s softball team played a brutal game of Duck, Duck, Goose earlier this week that featured two amazing wipeouts. Somebody had to have pulled a hammy.

INSPIRATION
TLI was buried on Wednesday and Thursday, tracking down signings, so we could highlight the players on Extra Inning Softball. It was a pretty grueling all day operation on both days. But TLI came across this Tweet and it feels like it was really worth it. You inspire TLI, Mia Galella. Keep up all your hard work!
❤️🥎To all my softball sisters that have committed, you are my inspiration!❤️ #KeepWorkin #Relentless@sdoepking11 @ChrisSteiner20 @CoachPatrick_ @scsbcoach_bev @CoachKuhlmeyer @CoachKvilhaug @Coach_LWood @StriveSoftball @Los_Stuff @IHartFastpitch @rickcowan68 @ExtraInningSB pic.twitter.com/wu8TgzhuG0
