Linn-Mar softball in rebuilding mode
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Third in a series of preseason Metro softball stories. Next: Marion.)
The Linn-Mar softball team is looking at another rebuilding season this year after going 12-23 last year and getting beat out in the regional semifinals by fourth-ranked Jefferson.
“I think this year is just another rebuilding year,” said senior Lindsey Harms, a first team all-conference shortstop. “It’s just Leandra (Martins) and me, and then we have two other juniors, so we are really young, but we are going to be better.”
The Lions lost three seniors from last year's team, headlined by third team all-state third baseman Leah Beck.
“She was our best hitter and then I am the only returning outfielder, so we have a lot of holes to fill with those three missing,” Martins said.
Luckily for Linn-Mar, Coach Jon Harms said he thinks they have enough young talent to help fill the holes left by graduation.
