Jenny Dalton-Hill sat on her porch and needed about 20 seconds to articulate her answer when asked what losing the 2020 Women’s College World Series meant to her.
In a normal year, the ESPN analyst would have already packed her bags for a week in Oklahoma City to cover the WCWS, which was scheduled to begin Thursday. However, the event is just one of many sports to have been canceled in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
When she was finally able to put her emotions about the event into words, Dalton-Hill said the WCWS had become a part of her life every year since her college days, and losing it along with the rest of softball season makes this time of year feel incomplete.
