is coming off an outstanding performance at an indoor varsity tournament in January, where she hit a triple and a home run, and also pitched four scoreless innings of one-hit ball with eight strikeouts. She showcased her impressive bat speed, with the ball exploding off her bat on both hits. Antonson’s curveball is her best pitch, as she uses late horizontal break to catch batters swinging at air, and she also uses a rise ball that many hitters find too enticing to lay off. She homered twice at the 14U Fall State Tournament and hit another at the South Dakota Fall Showcase against a 16U team, which was part of a 10-for-14 performance in that event that included four doubles. Antonson played varsity softball last spring as an eighth grader, which helped set the stage for her spectacular fall. When all was said and done, she struck out 171 batters in 87 2/3 innings and allowed a .146 on-base percentage, while also hitting .496 with 14 doubles, five homers and 54 RBI.
