Thank you Coach Weekly for the invite to visit the University of Tennessee. The @Vol_Softball experience camp was truly an amazing experience. I loved getting to meet and work with the coaching staff (@KarenWeekly @Coach_SniderSB, @SLSanders20, and @MRhodesSmith), tour the campus and facilities, and take in the SEC environment. Can’t wait to visit again! #govols 🐾 🐾 🐾 @EStateHuskies @ESH16UNational @CoachJoeHuskies @CoachPenny_OLY @Johnknopf10 #GDTBAH #RowTheBoat #Elevate @danburysball 💙🧡 @AllStarBatting1 @SoftbalAmerica @ExtraInningSB @LineDsoftball @DiamondAddicts @los_stuff @TopPreps @IrishFPSoftball ☘️🇮🇪☘️

Great start to the season in my first high school game as a sophomore with a big win against Amity 9-5!! It was a great team effort all around with great pitching and hitting. I went 2-3 with 2 HRs and drove in 4 RBIs. In my third AB, I hit a 3-run HR in a tie game to put us up 6-3!! So happy to have contributed in big moments and so proud of the team for getting the W!! Also, so happy that 3 of my 9U girls came to watch!! 🐾 🐾 🐾 @EStateHuskies @ESH16UNational @CoachJoeHuskies @CoachPenny_OLY @Johnknopf10 #GDTBAH #RowTheBoat #Elevate @danburysball 💙🧡 @AllStarBatting1 @SoftbalAmerica @ExtraInningSB @LineDsoftball @DiamondAddicts @los_stuff @TopPreps @IrishFPSoftball ☘️🇮🇪☘️

Very excited for my upcoming camp at University of Tennessee (@Vol_Softball) tomorrow and excited to visit Rocky Top! I’ve been preparing for the camp by hitting at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium on @hittrax. Can’t wait to see it in person! Here are some of my best @hittrax swings @ SPL Stadium (278ft, 286ft, 84.8mph, 19 degree launch angle HR). 🐾 🐾 🐾 @EStateHuskies @ESH16UNational @CoachJoeHuskies @CoachPenny_OLY @Johnknopf10 #GDTBAH #RowTheBoat #Elevate @danburysball 💙🧡 @AllStarBatting1 @SoftbalAmerica @ExtraInningSB @LineDsoftball @DiamondAddicts @los_stuff @TopPreps @IrishFPSoftball ☘️🇮🇪☘️

And finally the #10 moment of 2025 was my little sister hitting front toss with HitTrax for the first time at @AllStarBatting1 and setting the 8U all time record for both distance and exit velo! She’s a future star! This winter I was very lucky to start coaching my little sister and her 9U softball team with my dad. It’s filled with ballers!

#9 of 2025 - I was so happy to be able to have my grandmothers at my high school games last spring! An amazing moment was when I hit 2 homeruns with both of them there to see and they both landed right next to them. 2 HRs for 2 Grandmas!! So grateful for them to be able to come to my games and watch me play! 🐾 🐾 🐾 @EStateHuskies @ESH16UNational @CoachJoeHuskies @CoachPenny_OLY @Johnknopf10 #GDTBAH #RowTheBoat #Elevate @AllStarBatting1 @SoftbalAmerica @ExtraInningSB @LineDsoftball @DiamondAddicts @los_stuff @TopPreps @IrishFPSoftball ☘️🇮🇪

It’s been a busy winter of training and focusing on the upcoming season. So excited to get back outside!! Getting back to tweeting and sharing progress but first I want to finish 8, 9, and 10 top softball moments from 2025. #8 - It was great to be back in Oklahoma City this summer for the @USASoftball 14u All American Games! It was such a cool experience to be able to play at Devon Park (@DevonParkOKC) and on the main stadium field again. The funniest part of the trip was when I was looking at the photo booth and found softball cards of myself from when I played in the 12u All American Games back in 2023!! They changed my name and region to Tammy Murphy Region 3. I also got to spend some quality time with my grandmothers!! 🐾 🐾 🐾 @EStateHuskies @ESH16UNational @CoachJoeHuskies @CoachPenny_OLY @Johnknopf10 #GDTBAH #RowTheBoat #Elevate @AllStarBatting1 @SoftbalAmerica @ExtraInningSB @LineDsoftball @DiamondAddicts @los_stuff @TopPreps @IrishFPSoftball ☘️🇮🇪☘️

Had an awesome time getting back out on the field with my team this weekend at the @PGFnetwork Florida Fastpitch Classic!! So proud of us for battling all weekend and going 4-0! Unfortunately, we got rained out before the semifinal game on Sunday. I batted .375 at the plate and had 2 putouts and 2 assists at 3B. It was great to put winter workouts into action and now it’s time to get back to work to get ready for high school season! 🐾 🐾 🐾 @EStateHuskies @ESH16UNational @CoachJoeHuskies @CoachPenny_OLY @Johnknopf10 #GDTBAH #RowTheBoat #Elevate @AllStarBatting1 @SoftbalAmerica @ExtraInningSB @LineDsoftball @TopPreps @DiamondAddicts @Los_Stuff @IrishFPSoftball ☘️🇮🇪☘️

Back to my top 10 of 2025! #6…While in Georgia this summer for Atlanta Legacy, my dad and I went to an Atlanta Smoke game (@theatlantasmoke). Best part was my coach, also a friend and mentor, from 2021 USSSA All American games, McKayla Timmons, was playing in her first pro season! I was so excited to see her playing and it was great to catch up! So proud of you @timmons_mckayla!!
