Softball & Baseball Season

After the conclusion of basketball season, I was brought on to help with baseball and softball. My duties varied between the two sports.

For softball, my duties were operating Daktronics (scoreboard) and StatCrew (live stats). By the end of the season, I was comfortable to stat without having to ask questions. The flow of the game and its intricacies were no longer a mystery to me.

I only got the opportunity to work a couple of baseball games. When I did get that chance I was able to control the scoreboard. This was a little challenging at first because the machines are different at baseball compared to softball. So, initially I would get mixed up on how to type in a strike or things of that nature. I am now glad that the two programs were different because I had the opportunity to learn both.

Below are a couple of photos I took from my time in the pressbox at various softball/baseball games.

 

SoCon Tournament

Every year the Southern Conference puts on a tournament in Asheville, NC. I was granted the opportunity to work in the Media Relations department during this year’s tourney as a ‘runner’. My duties were to deliver stats/gamebooks and answer telephone calls.
