FRANKLIN, Pa. (EYT) — It was Trinity Edge’s first day of softball practice. Ever.

She was nine.

And she spent the whole day crying in the dugout.

“I didn’t think I was going to like it,” Edge said, chuckling. “I was so nervous.”

Despite that reaction, she returned to the field for the second day of practice and summoned enough courage to play.

She was hooked.

“I was like, ‘Oh. This isn’t so bad,’” Edge said. “Ever since then, I’ve just been in love with it.”

The only crying now comes from Edge’s opponents.

She just completed her junior season on the Franklin High School softball team and turned in a remarkable campaign, both at the plate and in the pitching circle.

Edge batted .586 with four home runs, 10 doubles, 24 RBIs, and 31 runs scored for the Knights. She also swiped eight bases.

As a pitcher, she was 16-4 with a 2.48 ERA. In 124⅓ innings pitched, she struck out 171. The opposition hit just .209 against her.

Edge was a big reason why Franklin advanced to the District 10 championship game and qualified for the PIAA Class 4A playoffs.

Still, Edge is not satisfied with both her own performance and that of the team.

Not even close.
