Softball Senior Day Set For Sunday

Lady Flames Wrap Up Home Schedule With CBU

The 2016 Lee University softball team.
 

The Lee softball team will play its final home series of the year this weekend as they welcome Gulf South Conference opponent Christian Brothers to town for a three-game set at Butler Field.

The final homestand will include a special senior ceremony at the conlcusion of Sunday's game.

SUPER SENIORS
The 2016 senior class includes pitcher Angie Hughes, shorstop Amanda Lynn, first baseman Lexie Dean, catcher Emily Dagnan, second baseman NiaRaye Ceasar and Shelby Gilreath, whose career was cut short by injuries but has been a stalwart leader in the clubhouse. 

Leadoff hitter and sure-handed fielding shortstop Lynn will conclude her career as the all-time leader in stolen bases (93) and walks (88) in Lee softball history. 

Dean ends her run with the Lady Flames as one of the all-time leaders in several offensive categories. The Ooltewah native is just four hits away from breaking Ana Coscorrosa's career hits mark of 275 set from 2011-2014. Dean will also settle into the top five in career batting average and RBI.

Hughes ends her four-year career as the all-time career strikeouts leader. The hard-throwing righty from Blairsville, Ga. has racked up 642 punchouts in 578.1 innings pitched heading into this weekend's games.

Junior-transfers Dagnan (Chattanooga State) and Ceasar (Mt. San Antonio College) have been staples in the middle of the Lee lineup over the last two years. Dagnan has caught all but four games since joining the club while Ceasar has hit 10 home runs and delivered 67 RBI.

RED HOT BATS SPURN WIN STREAK
The Lady Flames' offense has been on fire during the recent seven-game winning streak and currently leads the GSC in team batting average (.349) and doubles (84). No. 6 North Alabama is second, hitting at a .346 clip.

Dean leads the way with a .456 average and 43 RBI. Lynn is hitting .418 with 23 stolen bases and Dangan gives Lee four players batting above .400 with a .412 average to go along with 17 doubles and six home runs.

Following behind the heavy-hitting seniors are freshmen Hallie Davis (.347) and Stevie Baird (.365). Davis leads the team with eight home runs.
