Lander Adds Three More for 2009-10 Softball Season

GREENWOOD – Lander softball coach Brandon Duncan today announced the signing of three more players for the 2009-10 academic year. Added to the roster are junior college players Rachelle Adkins, a catcher from Newnan, Ga., and Lindsey Blackwell, a middle infielder from Milledgeville, Ga., along with freshman Casey Corbitt, a middle infielder from West Columbia, S.C.

“All three of these young ladies add to an already solid recruiting class,” said Duncan.

Adkins, a recent graduate of Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College (ABAC), spent her prep career at Northgate High School.

“Rachelle is a great fit for our program,” said Duncan, “I expect her to come in and immediately challenge for a role in our battery. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience both behind the plate and offensively.”

Blackwell graduated from Georgia Military College and John Milledge Academy.

“Lindsey is a solid shortstop and hits the ball extremely well,” added Duncan. “ Her experiences at GMC will do nothing but help our program.”

Corbitt comes to Lander as a freshman straight out of Brookland-Cayce High School.

“She played for a well-coached high school program and currently plays for one the best travel ball coaches in the state. She played her high school state final on Doug Spears Field and we are thrilled that she will play many more games there over the next four years."
