Harlee Donovan

@SOURaiders @SOU_Softball @Foofers13 #NAIASBWorldSeries #PlayNAIA #CollegeSoftball @Kelsee_R

A well-deserved honor was bestowed on Harlee Donovan as she was named the (first-ever from SOU) national player of the year. Besides her gold-glove defense at catcher, she was by far the most feared hitter in the NAIA. This is evidenced by her 62 walks, more than 20 as many as anyone in the NAIA. By way of comparison, her OPS of 1.364 is more than 200 points higher than Babe Ruth’s 1.164–the highest in MLB history. The leader in OPS this year in MLB is Mookie Betts at 1.187.

Kelsey Randall was an All-American for the second year in a row. She came in third in the NAIA in walks (with 40), was first in triples, first in runs scored, and second in stolen bases. On defense she was also first in assists and won four gold gloves as a Raider. She is the all-time record holder in the NAIA in triples.

Six inches of snow in my driveway and a downed tree meant I walked into work this morning. Classes are on at SOU, at least the ones that begin at 10 a.m. and later.

Everything is closed today. Classes are cancelled. Of course, that means I was even more anxious to get to work as campus is lovely and quiet.

I just gave a mini tour of campus to a mother and (prospective student) daughter who came all the way from Southern California to see SOU. With no employees (or students) on campus, weirdo faculty members, like me, are the only tour guides left.

Don’t go driving today. I saw two accidents on my walk to campus.
