The USA Softball Women’s National Team was in Seattle preparing for another stop on its Stand By Her tour when the sports world began shutting down.
The tour was a series of competition and training opportunities for the team to prepare for the 2020 Olympics. The Seattle stop was scheduled for March 12 but was postponed, along with several other dates on the tour.
Since then, former OU softball player and current Olympic team member Keilani Ricketts has been at home, pitching against her fence and doing at-home workouts to stay in shape. But she and the rest of the Olympic athletes were left to wonder what would happen with the Games.
