The USSSA Pride was well represented by Ashley Charters, Francesca Enea, and Jenn Salling on their visit to Seminole State College of Florida Softball team. Seminole State College is known as the Raiders and are lead by head coach Courtney Miller and assisted by Jack Bitzer, Katie Field, and Bill Fields. The Raiders had one more practice day before they left for their championship tournament in Pensacola, Florida. Coach Miller allowed the girls to jump into their full team scrimmage and really allowed the Pride girls to feel welcomed. This opportunity allowed many of the Raiders to see professionals in game like situations and give the Pride girls some real live practice time. After practice the Raiders were able to talk to each of the Pride girls regarding their college experience, playing in the National Pro Fastpitch, and how to push through softball adversities with mental toughness to succeeded. The Raiders also showed some of their team pride by performing one of their cheers that represents their softball program. The visit proved to be a positive one for the USSSA Pride by spreading the knowledge of the National Pro Fastpitch and touching base with their fans.
