Below are a couple of excerpts of e-mails concerning Battery Lightning players... there are many more e-mail examples of this nature along with a multitude of conversations and phone calls we have with College Coaches about Battery Lightning players.
***We are very proud of the interest and following and most importantly all of the hard work our players put in to softball***
Todd,
Thanks so much for the email. We are certainly excited about Aidan and her future with us. Aidan will be part of an outstanding class and her commitment just made it even more special. We forsee her class doing some wonderful and even magical things in a Michigan uniform.
Before we even met Aidan, we had heard that she was the product of a great family. That comment seems "dead on" and we are excited to have John, Jodi and Emma in the Michigan family as well.
Your program has obviously prepared Aidan as a softball player so thank you so much.
Go blue, Bonnie Tholl

Hey Jeff,
How’s it going? I hope that your arm is doing okay and that the team is playing well. I have been in touch with Theresa quite a bit and I think that she is all set. I wanted to follow up with you regarding _______ just to make sure that we are on the same page. We are hoping that she will want to make a visit in the fall if not sooner. I know that you said she was visiting several schools when we talked and I know that both of our schedules are tight. The fall will certainly work for us but I also want to make sure that she and her family know that we are very interested in showing her what PITT has to offer. I would love to talk to her if she wants to give me a call in the next few weeks if that works. My cell is 412-___-_____.
Thanks, Jeff. I appreciate your help.

Hi Coach Locey, Thanks so much for the info and schedule. We will definitely be at a few of your tournaments. We have seen ______ play and she is one of the best!! I am originally from Binghamton (my family still lives there) so I keep up on the local talent. NCAA rules limit the contact we can have, but just wanted to let you know that we would LOVE to have her put us on her radar :) We are on campus all summer so if you have any players interested in coming for a visit just let me know and we can set it up. If there is anything we can do for you please let us know. Looking forward to watching your team play again! good luck, Bridget 914-625-____ cell Bridget Orchard

Thanks for the reply email.
Fortunately we do have another date for a showcase. We are hosting a showcase with a local business called 5 Star Athletics. It is February 18th. We are still working our details and the flyer should be completed and approved by the end of the week. Once it is ready to go I will forward it along to you and the girls.
I will talk to you soon.

Jeff,
Hello, how are you? We are REALLY looking forward to having ________ on campus this Friday! I am attaching a copy of her itinerary just so that you have an idea of what she and her dad will be doing once they arrive. (Just kind of an FYI) I know that she tried to get a hold of me on Monday, but we had team practice until 6:30pm. We have a doubleheader tonight, starting at 6pm, but we are off tomorrow. We are anxious to hear from her and get her down here to check out the Nittany Lions. I hope all is well with you guys as you get underway! All the best!
Good luck,
Jen

Todd,
Thank you for your quick response (and thanks to Courtney for speaking
to you quickly). I really enjoyed watching your team play up in MA. To
be honest I had never seen your team play and wanted to see what
it was about. I was very pleased with the level of talent you have.
The players I liked on the team were.......
Could you forward me their email addresses? I would like
to get information out to them.

Todd,
It was great seeing you a couple weeks ago.
I really enjoyed watching you all in Binghamton and was so impressed
with how far some of the girls have come. It is obvious they are well
coached!
I am really interested in having ________ __________ ________down for
visits if they are interested. Feel free to give them my cell number if
they would like to set something up.

Hi Coach,
I wanted to reach out to you about _____________. Has she made a verbal to anyone yet? If not we are looking for a 2012 infielder, and we have a full scholarship available. I got to see her this summer a few times and will be out this fall to see her. Please let me know so I can move forward if she has made a verbal. I would love to get her on campus this fall, to meet me and the team if she is still available. Please let me know. You can give her my email so she has it. Thank you for your time.
Best wishes,
Coach Franquet
