Hailey Hammer is one of the most successful softball players to ever spring from Central Whidbey, and she closed her career in style Sunday afternoon.
The Coupeville High School grad, a 12-time letter winner (volleyball, basketball, softball) during her days as a Wolf, smacked two hits and knocked in a run in her final collegiate softball game.
While Everett Community College fell 18-10 to Pierce CC (wrapping up a 13-28 season), Hammer continued to fill up the stat sheet.
She finished her sophomore campaign at EVCC hitting .330 with four home runs and 22 RBIs, while also racking up 218 put-outs while patrolling first base.
During her two years as a Trojan, Hammer played in 64 games, hitting .309.
Even while fighting through injuries, she racked up 28 runs, 54 base-knocks (including 10 extra-base hits), 29 RBI, 22 walks and one memorable stolen base.
Afterwards, she briefly reflected on her run in the sport, which carried her from little league all the way to college success.
“It’s all done now,” Hammer said. “Thank you to all of the coaches I’ve had over these years, all of my teammates on every team, and most importantly, my family.”
