The Ohio State Softball (Official Thread)

It's supposed to be on ESPN+ but I can't get it to come up.
Down 3-1, bottom of the 4th.

I watched it on ESPN+. Bucks just didn't have much left for the second game.

Turns out the Beavs are pretty good. They knocked out the Vols on their home field today and are headed to the regionals.

Can you talk about your decision to commit to Ohio State? While going through the recruiting process a couple years ago, I felt incredibly stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted. But when I got the chance to talk to Coach Kelly (Kovach) and the rest of the coaching staff at Ohio State, it felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders because they were extremely welcoming and easy to talk to. After my visit, I knew for sure that I wanted to go to Ohio State. The coaches, campus, team, recruits, atmosphere, facilities, sports and the school overall was incredibly hard to say no too.

Ohio State’s Hackenbracht Overcomes Childhood Cancer to Swing Big for Buckeyes​

Hackenbracht.jpg


There is an emotional response nearly all parents experience when they see their child thriving in sports. For Heather Hackenbracht, it’s amplified by what her daughter endured just to get a chance to play.

Ohio State senior catcher Sam Hackenbracht was given a 50 percent chance to live after being diagnosed with cancer at 18 months old.

She spent weeks in the hospital and fought through chemotherapy treatments that wracked her tiny body with anguish. Although the doctors were optimistic from the start, Heather Hackenbracht feared the worst when she heard the odds her daughter was given.

So any time Sam hits a home run, throws a runner out trying to steal or just even steps on the field wearing a uniform, Heather counts her blessings.

“I don’t know why, but I always flash back to that little girl in the hospital bed struggling for breath,” Heather said. “I am so proud and happy for her because she didn’t have a normal childhood and she’s been able to have big moments like she’s had as an athlete.”
