Forget Ted Williams’ coveted .400 mark.
There are a few hitters, including Kish, flirting with a ridiculous .500 season batting line – a mind-boggling feat when you think that every other at-bat results in a base hit.
Kish was the catalyst for the Chargers’ offense in their undefeated playoff run while manning the leadoff spot and earning first-team all-conference honors as a junior.
Kish went a combined 7-for-14 in those four games for a .500 batting average with a double, two runs batted in and three runs scored. She entered the tournament with a batting average over .490.
What’s even more difficult to comprehend is she had a two-run double against Trevecca completely wiped off the board as she was determined to have stepped out of the batter’s box.
She went 2-for-2 in her first game against Trevecca and she continued to dominate compiling multiple hits in all but one game when she was 1-for-4 in a 1-0 win against top seed Cedarville.
She then went a combined 4-for-8 in her final two games against conference defending champ No. 8 Kentucky Wesleyan to defeat the Panthers and take the Great Midwest Championship crown.
This just continued a great season for the junior as she now ranks second in batting average in the conference with a .492 mark. She also ranks third in on base percentage as well as fifth in hits going into the Midwest Regional.
