Mindy has been playing softball for 8 years and has always been a pitcher. “I started pitching on my rec team and I’ve just stuck with it. It has always been something I have picked up really easily and I love being in control of the game,” said Schoen.

Every time Mindy strikes out an opposing team the players come to congratulate her. “We’ve spent a lot of time off the field together bonding over different things which I think has made us very successful on the field as well,” said Schoen.
