Sammy Tyler has found a home with the Strawberry Crest softball team. The junior transferred to SCHS, after spending two years at Armwood and has become the ace of the Lady Chargers pitching staff. Tyler helped guide her new team to the Class 6A-11 championship last week. She struck out 20 batters in the two district tournament games, after coming off a injury.
Have you always been a pitcher?
Yes, I always said I was going to be a pitcher. I like being the center of attention and being able to know where everything is going and control it.
What was the transition like coming from Armwood?
Coming here was much easier than being over at Armwood. I gel much better with these girls and feel comfortable with them. I know they believe in me on the mound. I just feel more welcomed here.
On what aspects of your pitching have you been working?
I’ve been working on my rise ball and my changeup. I got hurt just three weeks ago, and I’m just starting to get back to being myself.
Have you ever had to deal with something like that?
It was a pulled quad. I’ve been hurt before but never anything like that. The thing going through my head was that I just needed to get better to get back with my team. It’s getting much easier to throw now.
Tell us about your experience in the two district tournament games.
I mean, I was hurting, but I knew I just had to get through those games, and with as solid as my defense is, I did.
After SCHS got upset by Leto last year when you were at Armwood, what was it like being on this team and playing them this year?
I knew they were nervous, but I knew they were ready. And I was ready. I almost threw a perfect game.
Have you ever thrown a perfect game?
Not in high school. I’ve thrown no-hitters, though. My last perfect game was over the summer, in a travel ball tournament, in Tennessee.
You’re committed to St. Leo University. How did that come about?
It was the summer before my sophomore year when I committed. The campus was amazing, and coach Conway is just a great coach. I felt comfortable with him. “>http://livecameramonitoring.com/kredit-na-gotoviy-biznes.php
