“Shelby Lowe is and has been one of the best, if not the best, pitcher in Alabama and Mississippi for the past few years. We’ve played against her at least twice a year for the past five years. She has command of every pitch she throws and she never seems to get tired. She’s also a great hitter who can hit for average and for power.”
