Davis, others face difficulties when going pro in softball

This is the case for softball players in the National Pro Fastpitch League and is something recent draftee Shelby Davis, a senior at Oklahoma State, will have to deal with.

Davis, a senior from Goddard, Kansas, wasn’t expecting to be selected on draft day but was drafted eighth overall by the Pennsylvania Rebellion.

“I cried,” Davis said. “I didn’t just cry, I bawled. All day I was so nervous and so emotional and I had my entire team there. I wasn’t expecting it to be that soon or at all honestly, and so when they said outfielder from Oklahoma State I just instantly starting crying.
