“Rossi is such a talented pitcher and hitter as well. She dominates on the mound and has such control over all of her pitches. The last two years when my varsity team faced her, she shut us down, striking out 11 this year and 13 last year. Bedford is lucky to have her on the team. She is more than deserving of the Gatorade Player of the Year award.”
