SOFTBALL NOTEBOOK:
'M' hurlers highlight All-America squad
By Sarah DeMar
Daily Softball Writer
Michigan softball coach Carol
Hutchins may be mourning the loss of
her graduated star pitcher, Kelly
Kovach, now that the Wolverines'
successful season has finally come to
an end.
But thanks to her excellent recruit-
ing in 1994, Hutchins has Sara Grif-
fin, a virtual superwoman when it
comes to fast-pitch softball.
Both Kovach and Griffin earned
Louisville Slugger NSCA-NCAA Di-
vision I All-America honors last week-
end.
Kovach, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa.,
was chosen as an at-large pitcher while
Griffin was selected with utility player
status.
Michigan was one out of four other
teams to boast more than one player as
an All-American. No. 1 Arizona had
the most with six. Fresno State,
UNLV, Southwestern Louisiana and
the Wolverines had two apiece.
Griffin (23-6) shocked the confer-
ence as a freshman this year, as she
consistently hit the stuffing out of the
ball from the plate and tore up the bat-
ters she faced from the mound.
Even as early as October 1994,
Griffin was proving she was meant for
greatness.
In her first collegiate game against
Eastern Michigan, Griffin threw a one-
hitter from the rubber and hit 3-for-3
with a single, double, triple and three
RBI.
From there Griffin continued to
dazzle foes with her offensive and de-
fensive prowess throughout the season.
The California native led the Wolver
ines not only in batting average, bu
also in hits, triples, home runs, slug
ging percentage and on-base percent-
age.
Hutchins obviously had confidence
in Griffin's ability from the mound as
well because she pitched every game
since postseason play began, winning
six out of the last eight.
Kovach was no slouch either.
Throughout her four years, Kovach
