 Welcome back to the Julia Kalata show presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson Softball Head Coach Julia Kalata and Coach finished the season on a four game win streak one five of your last six six games just talk about the season as a whole. Yeah our season we started off against some tough opponents we started off pretty strong had a nice southern swing down in Florida and then as conference rolled around we started off with some nice splits but unfortunately we just didn't take care and take advantage of certain conference situations I would have put us in the playoffs. We had several players that had really great seasons Aaron Steffi, Aaron Yer, one of our junior college newcomers Morgan Fulton as well as our both of our seniors Kayla Maggio and Daniel Evacauzen along with Aaron Steffi, Kayla Brial stole a bunch of bases this year. Had a decent record but unfortunately fell a little bit short in conference play. Yeah you already mentioned a few of them but you had three players named to the all conference teams. Aaron Steffi was named to the first team Kayla Brial to the second and then sophomore Alex the Grandi, Aaron Honable mentioned honors as well so you mentioned the other two already so talk about Alex's play this year. Yeah Alex did a nice job both at third and behind the plate but yeah behind the plate catching for us as well as a couple times in a DH role had good offensive numbers. Aaron Steffi was really the back burner of our team offensively and in the field. Aaron Yer had a nice season transferring in and Morgan in the circle did a nice job with an 11-8 record beat her own single season record for wins and Kayla Brial's with all the stolen bases getting on setting our temp out. Yeah you mentioned her we'll talk about her a little more in depth with Morgan Fulton left off the all conference team but had a great great junior season like you mentioned she beat her own personal best and wins with 11 she got that actually on one day win number 10 and 11 and then offensively had a great year for you too so you know what do you expect from her moving forward now that she's kind of had this leap from her sophomore to junior year. Yeah we expect her to come back even better than she was this year and she did a great job supporting Hailey in the circle she would pitch game one come in and pitch game two and Hailey did a nice job for us as well we did not always have the best run support for either pitcher and Morgan again had a great year at the plate growing from last year as well so we expect her to come back very strong and have a great senior year with some added support in the circle up for our incoming freshman class. Yeah now that you close close the page on the 2019 season what's the goal going into the summer recruiting wise and then you know as we turn the page to the 2020 season. Yeah well recruiting right now we're going to attack 2020s we have a really big 2019 class coming in so our goal is to kind of have them integrate to the team get to know their current teammates really well so when we come back this next year it's easy rolling right into fall practice we're going to have a play date you work as well as do a lot of community service events to get to know one another in the fall but as far as our goals they're the same thing we got to make playoffs we want to win the conference and I think that this year proved to the team that we can compete with ranked teams Sal's very Randolph Macon he worked as a good program that we played and now we just need to push through that and take the next step in conference. Well coach we appreciate your time throughout the season which you best of luck in the summer months and see you back here next year. Awesome thank you.
