Wow!! Some of you guys sound a little . . . well a lot bitter!! I can't believe someone would bash a girl on here the way some of you have. Shame on you!
You come up with excuse after excuse. Things like . . .oh they throw right down the middle. . . and the pitching in that region is terrible! Come on man give me a break. Do you really think coaches in the region are dumb enough to throw Amber a pitch down the middle after she has been bashing balls on them for four years? I don't think so! She is a tremendous hitter with TONS of power! You want stats. . .well Riddle took the State Homerun record LAST year as a junior. She blasted 19 HR last year then topped that with 17 this year. She finished just short of the national HR record. She hit a total of 55 for her career. At the end of the season her batting average was .610. Although she went to bat 113 times this season she only had 69 hits due to opponents choosing to walk her. So much for your throwing them down the middle theory! Oh yeah, ask anybody on her summer team who has played in Colorado, WVA, OH, TN, NC, VA if she can hit against good pitchers. I think you will get a very quick reply of "oh **** YEA"! She wanted to stay close to home for her college career. She had visits to UK, U of L, Florida State, Marshall, and EKU just to name a few. So instead of being bitter and an A** Hole about a very deserving accomplishment, give credit where credit is due! She is a tremendous player!
