âLeah has been a great addition to our team,â Linden coach Peter Naumowicz said. âShe has put in hard work and discipline to excel as our number-one pitcher. Her passion for the game is seen in every game, inning, and pitch. As a freshman, she has put together a great season which we hope is the first of many. Leah always wants to get better she works with the coaches and she loves pitching to her (fellow) freshman batterymate Janaya (Ortman). She is humble and wants the team to succeed. As she said. itâs not just her that wins this accomplishment, but itâs the team behind her that has done it with her. Our team slogan is âOne heart, one team, one family,â and Leah shows that every day.â
