Senior infielder Danii Fernandez is up to bat. After swinging the bat a few times, she steps into the batter’s box. The pitcher fires the softball, and Fernandez swings. She slaps the ball into left field and gets a run batted in for the UAB Softball team.
Originating from Florida, Fernandez is the middle child with two brothers — one older and one younger. She and her brothers grew up in a sports family, all of which had something to do with softball or baseball.
“My Mom played softball when she was growing up,” Fernandez said.
