Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season.

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off.
