Rachel Karos06 Eastern ILL
Rachel Karos,Inf
It's not everyday a team is lucky enough to pick up a player with the stats Rachel Karos put up at Eastern Illnois this year. The slick fielding 3rd baseman posted a .362 season batting avg to go along with a terrific . 438 on base percentage.
Rachel also led her team with 15 stolen bases in 19 attempts.

Welcome to the Slammers, Rachel!

Three Key Slammers Return For 2006 Season
Ali Arnold 05
Ali Arnold, P, Iowa
Forming the core of the 2006 Slammers are three outstanding returning players. First there is Casey Clutch who carried her brilliant high school pitching performances into her 4 years at the University of Evansville where she was the mainstay of the staff for the Purple Aces. Casey broke her arm playing for the Slammers last year, but is now ready to go. Not only is Casey a dominating pitcher and a fierce competitor, but she is also a fine infielder who can swing the bat with the best.

The next returning Slammer is U of Iowa star pitcher Ali Arnold who joined the Slammers for their last two tournaments in 2005. Now graduated from Iowa, Ali showed how good she was with lights out performances when the Slammers went undefeated to capture the AFA National title in 2005. Ali Arnold's career speaks for itself. Probably has one of the most stellar HS pitching careers in the history of HS softball in Illinois. Her dad Graham was considered one of the best men's fastpitch pitchers in the world during his playing days. Ali is going to China in August to pitch for New Zealand National Team in the World Cup.

Finally, it is great to have Eastern IL star outfielder Katy Steele returning.She followed up a great freshman year with strong sophomore and junior year performances for the Panthers. Katy is a top defensive player both in the outfield and infield and has been among the Eastern's top hitters all three years of her college career.

Welcome to Kari and parents Von and Kim Bettenbrock.

Described by head coach Bob Zivic as a player who can "flat out hit", the
Slammers extend a warm welcome to sophomore IU infielder Kari Bettenbrock. Kari was hurt most of her freshmen year having surgery on her hand before the start of the spring season, but now that she's healed we know that Kari will be looking forward to blasting a few base hits and helping the Slammers as they come off a most successful 2005 season.

Injury Puts Abby Gross on the Sidelines Until Spring of 07
Abby Gross Decatur 05
Abby Gross at Decatur 05
On May 6th Abby was batting against Kent State and in the 6th inning was struck by a pitch, but uninjured. The next day on Sunday May 7th, in the 2nd inning of the last game of the season vs Kent state, she was again struck by a pitch, this one breaking a finger on her right hand. Right now she has a cast on her right hand, and it appears it will stay there for around 5 weeks.

If the finger heals as it should Abby will be back in the Ball State lineup next spring. Not only will she miss being able to play for the Slammers this summer, but the Slammers will definately miss her winning spirit, her over-all leadership behind the plate and her her offensive prowess in the line-up.

Abby led both the Slammers and Ball State in almost every offensive category. (click photo for stats)

On the bright side Abby accepted an offer to coach a 10 and under travel team this summer. They are a lucky group. Best of luck Abby, and we'll see ya next year behind the plate for the Slammers.

A Big Welcome to Fighting Irish Catcher Erin Glasco

Erin Glasco, ND
With the loss of Abby Gross Erin will provide stability, leadership and experience. She is another piece added to this team made up of players who not only excell on the diamond, but who have reached and attained the highest academic goals.

Erin will be catching Ali Arnold, Lori Andjelich, and Casey Clutch.

Erin's father, Southern Force (Johnson City, Ill.) head coach Gerry Glasco, along with assistant coaches Scott Wagner and Tara Glasco were named the 2004 Speedline/NFCA Travel Ball National Coaching Staff of the Year.

Glasco led the Force to the 2004 ASA 18U Gold National Championship, finishing the Marietta, Ga., tournament with a perfect 7-0 record. The win marked just the second time that a non-California team had captured the title at Gold Nationals.

Welcome Erin & family!
