Natalie was the leadoff batter for a UIC Flames squad that compiled a .309 batting average for the 2013 season.

Kat brings another valued left handed bat to the Slammers lineup. She is a very smart hitter who can hit to all parts of the field. Pitchers will have to work really hard this summer to keep her off the base paths. We will expect to see some clutch at bats from Kat this season.
