    Numbers alone don’t mean anything if they are merely live bodies. But “we added several quality people, which will obviously be helpful,” said Coach Katie Chinn.

    Sophomore Miranda Claise has moved up to the No. 1 pitcher after working with a pitching coach all winter.
    She went 1-3 as the No. 2 pitcher for the 4-13 Commodores last year. But now “she throws 53 to 55 miles per hour, she’s picked up a screwball and a curveball, and her change-up’s pretty good,” said Coach Mark Rothgerber.
