Hamm
Abington Heights graduate Mara Hamm and Lackawanna Trail graduate Samantha Baltrusaitis were first-team Atlantic East softball all-star selections for their roles in a successful Marywood University season.
The Pacers finished 27-18 overall, including reaching the Atlantic East and ECAC championship games.
Hamm, a pitcher/second baseman, was named to the team as a utility player. She was the most frequently used pitcher at Marywood, going 11-11 with a 4.28 earned average while pitching in 22 games and appearing in 40 total.
At the plate, Hamm batted .333 with 18 runs, 21 RBI and two doubles. As a pitcher, she started 21 games and threw 149 1/3 innings, allowing 149 hits, but walking just 29 while striking out 89.
Baltrusaitis was again one of Marywood’s top power threats.
The all-star outfielder played all 45 games and batted .348 with 13 doubles, a triple, four home runs, 28 runs scored and 25 RBI.
