BYU Softball Signs Blue Chip Pitcher
Summer Tobias, a transfer from the University of Nebraska, will bolster an already strong pitching staff.
August 2, 2004
PROVO, Utah-- The BYU softball team signed top
pitching prospect Summer Tobias, a transfer from the University of
Nebraska, to bolster an already strong pitching staff.
In a year where BYU softball has landed one of the countries top high
school pitching prospects in Daniela Urincho, Head Coach Gordon Eakin
said he was excited about the addition of Tobias to the Cougar squad.
"I recruited her heavily out of high school, but was disappointed to
lose her to Nebraska," Eakin said. "I am extremely pleased with her
decision to come to BYU. In a pitcher dominated game she'll make us
stronger, she's a good one."
In her senior year of high school, Tobias pitched for the California
Cruisers, the 2001 eighteen and under Gold team when they finished
second in the nation. Tobias was defeated 1-0 in 10 innings of the
undefeated winners-bracket game by Cat Osterman who currently is with
the University of Texas and plays for the USA Olympic softball team.
Tobias will be entering her junior year and with the addition of
Urincho, they add great strength to an already talented team.
