Jeannette's Kirstie Cortazzo's outstanding efforts in her 2012 campaign at Gannon University, earned her a spot on the All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), Western Division Team

Kirstie led the Lady Knights with a .342 average this season while starting 46 games at second base. The sophomore finished first on the team in slugging percentage (.530), hits (51), RBIs (32), doubles (13) and total bases (79). Her .400 on-base percentage and 33 runs scored were both second-best among the team. Cortazzo hit .385 during 15 conference games this season with three home runs and 13 RBIs and batted .357 with runners on (30-84) and .373 (22-59) with runners in scoring position for the Lady Knights.

Congrats Kirstie!

I haven't really had the baseball/softball season that I was hoping to have here on the site, as you have probably noticed. Reason being that my other job, the one that actually provides funding to pay the bills, has unexpectedly (yet hopefully temporarily) taken over my life. But in all reality, that's actually okay, as long as they keep depositing a lucrative paycheck into my bank account come payday. (....and you'll be happy to know, as am I, that they have been doing just that!)

So in short, that is basically the reason you haven't seen much in the way of baseball or softball articles, images and videos on the site. I trust that you would do the same in my position and hope that you can understand where my priorities lay.

Speaking of unexpected seasons though, I believe it would be safe to say that the Jayhawks and Lady Jays are in a similar boat, as mine.
