“OK, bye now. I got work to do.”

Madeline Roberts is fillin’ up the stat sheet.

The former Coupeville High School softball star is deep into her freshman year at Shoreline Community College, and among the team leaders in several categories.

Through 22 games (the school’s web site hasn’t added stats for Sunday’s games, which is where these photos came from), Mad Dog is hitting .254 with a home run and 10 RBI.

Roberts has tallied 17 hits, 17 runs, walked seven times and stolen eight bases.

Plus, she’s enough of a camera magnet to get John Fisken to travel down to Shoreline to snap these pics.

So she’s doing alright.

College is all about exploring new things.

Former Wolf superstar Madeline Roberts is proving that daily, as the softball sensation continues to play out an unexpected sports diversion.

After playing high school hoops only as a freshman, she wasn’t the first person you’d expect to pick back up the sport.

And yet here she is, almost 20 games into her freshman basketball season at Shoreline Community College.

Apparently the three-year break didn’t hurt her all that badly.

Despite not playing basketball competitively since her freshman year in high school, former Wolf Madeline Roberts continues to put up numbers at Shoreline Community College.

Roberts, who is a freshman scholarship softball player for the Dolphins, is one of five players to have seen floor time in all of the school’s 13 womens’ hoops games this season.

She has amassed 22 points, 23 rebounds, 12 steals, two assists and a blocked shot (Roberts may be listed at five-foot-four, but it’s a feisty, rise-up-and-deny-the-shooter five-foot four).

And, if nothing else, all that basketball action keeps her in shape for her true sport.
