Those Who Can Do, Those Who Can't Write About It!

The local sports press corps came out to Husky Softball Stadium today to see exactly how difficult it is to hit a pitch off National Player of the Year Danielle Lawrie.

It appeared at first that some members of the press thought it wouldn't be too tough. But, after getting an up-close and personal look at Danielle's arsenal of pitches that changed pretty quickly.

KJR's Dave "Softy" Mahler fouled a pitch off to the first base side of the field and KING-5's Lisa Gangel fouled a ball back into the stands. ESPN.com's Jim Caple grounded one to second base. Other than that, nobody even got a sniff of the ball. Danielle's victims included: KING-5's Chris Egan, KOMO's Eric Johnson, James Sido and Mike Ferreri, Seattle PI.com's Jim Moore (wearing a WSU Cougar shirt - prompting a little extra oomph from Lawrie), Seattle Times' Jerry Brewer (pictured), Comcast SportsNet's Dianna Russini, The Daily's Christian Caple and KCPQ's Aaron Levine.

All-in-all, everyone came away amazed with how anyone could ever get a hit off the incredible Husky pitcher!
