UMBC embraces trip to 'Mecca of softball'

NORMAN — The Maryland-Baltimore County softball team is hitting the top spots on its NCAA Tournament trip to Oklahoma: USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium, and Braum's of course.

"I've never been to Oklahoma," sophomore Julia Keffler said Thursday. "I didn't even know where it was on a map. But I dreamed about playing on that field since I was a little girl. Seeing all the pictures of Jennie Finch and all the famous softball players was really cool."

UMBC coach Chris Kuhlmeyer has been to Oklahoma several times as an assistant coach at Baylor and Wichita State.
