SEVERN SHARPENS HER SKILLS

By Ty Bartell

AUSTINTOWN OH- Be on the lookout Austintown-Fitch Falcons softball fans, there is a new everyday second basemen in town and her name is Sam Severn!

Working as a designated player much of last year, Severn found herself at a bridge point in the lineup, where her bat made her an everyday ball player for the state championship Falcons. Fast forward to this year and even more responsibility rests on her shoulders, taking the reins of a defensive spot on the field over at second base following the graduation of Caitlin Mitchell a year ago.

Severn may seem shy at first, but that is exactly what she wants you to think, for a competitive fire burns inside the junior at temperatures like no other! While everyone else is getting hype pregame, you can find Severn locking in a different way, often keeping to herself, getting focused and lighting that fire.

Batting at the seven spot in a stacked Austintown lineup, Severn has started off the season with a hot swing, batting an impressive .474 at the time of this article, Severn has found herself an everyday home on both sides of the ball. Always working and striving to be the best she can be. As Severn continues her progression, I would advise not to get too close, you might get burned!
