Yellowjackets Sign Washington Softball Standout (May 9, 2003)

BILLINGS, MT – MSU Billings head softball coach Jeff Aumend has announced that Aysha Blatter from Richland, Washington has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Yellowjackets next season.  Blatter will graduate from Kamiakin High School in Kennewick, Washington this June.

Blatter is currently fifth in the Big Nine Conference with a .510 batting average, and Kamiakin is in second place in the league with a 15-3 record.  As a junior, Blatter broke the school record for stolen bases and was named to the Big Nine Conference second team as a catcher.  She earned honorable mention honors as a sophomore third baseman. 

Blatter will be joining a Yellowjacket program that is coming off the best season in its short three-year history.  The Jackets finished 15-20 overall this year and had six players earn All-Pacific West Conference honors.

“We like multi-positional players who can hit,” said Aumend.  “Aysha fits that mold perfectly.  She’s a good student who will make an immediate impact on our team."
