Softball: ‘Coachable’ Olentangy Berlin Bears driven to succeed
ThisWeek group
The Olentangy Berlin softball team features six players returning from 2019, including four starters, as coach Jenna Tullis tries to make the most of a more experienced roster.
Senior first baseman Allie Burkhart batted .384 with two homers, 13 RBI and 16 runs as a sophomore, while senior Remy Camp and junior Syd Billy started at shortstop and second base, respectively. Junior Kali Bateman returns at pitcher, and senior outfielders Sydney Cain and Autumn LeFevre also saw varsity time.
“We have a nice blend of young players and veterans, and I think the girls have a willingness to learn and grow,” Tullis said. “They are open and coachable and constantly want feedback in order to get better. The girls are willing to stay after practice for reps, and they want to get better.”
