Lexi Moon wanted to do more damage for Lakota softball
For two seasons, Lakota's Lexi Moon has collected a hit in half of her at bats. She now intends to do more than simply put ball in play.
Lexi Moon used to cringe when it came to her spot in the lineup. Now, it's the pitcher who ought to be nervous. They won't be able to stop the anxiety if they've heard anything about what the Lakota senior is doing at the plate.
She has 37 hits in 72 at-bats for a . 514 average. She has at least one hit in every game except one.
"Before every at-bat, I didn't want to hit," she said. "I thought negatively, and I struggled. Now, when I'm on deck, I want to hit the ball.
I want another shot off the pitcher. That change in mindset is the biggest difference between me and my younger self. "To find that switch, that positivity, has been the key.
