Nash and Fleming are injured, don't know the extent or if it will prevent them playing any fall ball. Don't know about Kirby but she must be dinged up too, everyone else had extended playing time yesterday.

In terms of your line up, those are the starters, plus Nash in either Center or Right. She is a good fielder and has the speed.

So there is just one OF position left. The next best players I think are going to come from this group: Fleming, Kooyman, Kirby, Rampetsreiter, Garrison. So basically Fleming and 4 unknown freshmen. Fleming is serviceable in the field IMO. I don't think Kooyman is an OF possibility; she played 1B in the second game but don't know if that's where she has experience. I think we will have plenty of offense with the other 8 likely starters, and several good options coming off the bench. So it wouldn't surprise me to see EE fill the last OF position with the best fielding option he has come February, which may well be one of those last 3 freshmen above.
