Worthington Cardinals 7th & 8th Grade Softball

Okay first day of school stuff is done, now let's get back to the important stuff... Softball!

Announcing our FIRST offseason open gym workout! Join us in the Worthingway gym at 12:30 October 10 for the beginning of our offseason program!

Attendance is not mandatory! We know some of the girls have fall ball schedules, or other sport schedules, but if a player wants to get some reps, meet the coaches and/or teammates, this is a PERFECT opportunity!

Hope to see a lot of people!

Today's the big day! Welcome back to school, Cardinals! We hope you all had great summers! Here's to a great school year!

BREAKING NEWS! We are thrilled to announce that every home game in the 2027 season, we will be offering delicious little softball-shaped snacks called Cardinal Nuggets!





(This is a joke, please don't sue us or the Worthington School District, Buc-ee's, we're just a middle school softball program!)

🥎 We’re Looking for Volunteer Assistant Coaches! 🥎

We’re excited to add 1–2 volunteer assistant coaches to our 2027 Cardinals Softball coaching staff!

If you know someone with a passion for softball who enjoys working with student-athletes and wants to help continue growing our Cardinals softball program, we’d love to connect with them. Please send them our way!

To maintain fairness and consistency within our program, we will not be considering parents or family members of current players for these volunteer coaching positions.

If interested, please reach out to Coach Jamie at [email protected] for more information!

We love seeing our cardinals grow and succeed in the game they love 🥎

We love softball camp!!

Another postseason player vs parent/coach game, another parent/coach win!! Off the bat of a 3 run triple by Kaylani’s dad Rashad, the parents/coach prevailed with a hilariously ironic score of 6-7 *insert the hand gesture here*

This end of season tradition is so bittersweet, it’s a fun time of (mostly) friendly trash talk (the girls really stopped liking me today….) and very fun competition, but also our last time goofing off with these girls. Thank you to everyone who participated tonight, and thank you again to all family members that helped out through the season. None of us could complete this season without you and your support!

I'm sure you all thought "Oh great, no more of those annoying game flyers on Facebook" yesterday... You were SO wrong, if you did.

Bring your gloves and bats to McCord and let's show the girls what PARENTS softball is all about! Join us for a friendly game of slowpitch softball and let's continue the parents/coach team's winning ways!

Our postseason banquet will be immediately after the game! It's a fun celebration of a great season!

SEASON RECAP: Of the Cards' 12 wins on the season, 7 were by run-rule (Up 10 after 5 innings)

Tabi H led all 7th graders in batting average (.650 in 7 games) Annelle V was right behind her, batting .467. Annelle also led the 7th graders in stolen bases with 37.

Brooklyn C led the 8th graders, batting .630. She also led the team in stolen bases with 42.

Shae C led the team in RBIs (29) HRs (3) and Triples (8)

Ella C was the most patient at the plate, walking 19 times

Piper B, Brooklyn C, and Bella C tied for the "Ouchies!" award, leading the team in taking one for the team, with 4 each. (Brooklyn actually didn't get hit for one of those, but what blue says goes, right?

As a team, in all games (minus the Blue game in Delaware vs. River Valley, and the Red game at Hastings), the Cards batted .398

They had a +50 run differential, scoring 213 runs, while giving up 163 in 21 games, giving an average score of 10.1-7.8

Pitching-wise, Shae C. was a rock. Facing 199 total batters, she sat opponents down on strikes 92 times, a K percentage of 46%

This is just a glimpse of how special these 22 girls were these past 3 months. Every single girl made improvements in their skills throughout the season, and we have been so proud to watch them grow as ballplayers, but also as people.

Thank you, parents and family members of players, for entrusting us to handle this small piece of your girls' softball journeys. Parents of 8th graders, we wish you all the best in the process of moving up to TWHS. Coach Finn will take great care of you! Parents of 7th graders, we look forward to seeing you all again next season!
