2019 SEISC ALL-CONFERENCE Softball & Baseball Selections

IMS had five softball players make the 2019 SEISC All-Conference Teams. 

RUBYE NEY, senior, made the SEISC First Team as an Outfielder. In conference play, she had a .333 batting average, .410 slugging percentage and .386 on base percentage. She stole three bases out of three attempts and struck out only four times. Batting in the #2 position, she bunted, slapped and ran the bases well. Playing centerfield, she was quick to the ball, took correct angles, threw accurately, hit her cut-offs for tags at 3rd and at the plate. She had one conference error, ending the season with a team-high .982 fielding percentage. She started all five seasons. Her knowledge of the game and leadership on the field will be missed by the team. Rubye is attending the University of Iowa this fall. 

SUZANNA YODER, senior, made the SEISC First Team as an Infielder. In conference play, she had a .366 batting average and .469 on base percentage. She batted in the #1 position. She had fifteen hits, eleven RBI and scored seventeen times. She hit two doubles, two triples and three home runs for a .732 slugging percentage. She also had eight stolen bases out of eight attempts. Playing shortstop, she had a .905 fielding average. She attacked the ball and was instrumental in several double plays. She started all five seasons. Her speed on the base paths and her determined, competitive spirit will be missed by the team. Suzanna is attending Goshen College this fall where she will play basketball and run track.

MIA GRABER, junior, made the SEISC Second Team as an Infielder. In conference play, she had a .317 batting average and .349 on base percentage. She hit seven doubles for a .488 slugging percentage.
