Coach Murphy Says: "Blair was either our most-improved player or runner-up this fall. She came in great shape and very confident. Her change-up is the best one we have had in 11 years of softball at the University of Alabama. We all believe that she has the talent to become our fifth 20-game winner in three seasons. She compliments our other pitchers very well."
