After home games at the Fields of Dreams, Barrington pitcher/hitter extraordinaire Allie Goodwin still had a little more work to do.
"Allie has been an inspiration for the younger generation of pitchers in our town," said Barrington softball coach Perry Peterson."The little girls love to emulate Allie's pitching talent and she receives more autograph requests post game than anyone else at Fields of Dreams."
by signing up you agree to our terms of service "Hitting and pitching each have their unique challenges and rewards and that makes it very difficult for me to choose a favorite between the two," Goodwin said."On any given day it can go back and forth depending on how well I'm pitching or hitting that day. If I had to choose one, I would say that the feeling of turning around a good pitch and hitting a home run or just coming up big for your team at the plate is my favorite.
Goodwin sure took advantage of her softball opportunities. "Allie's talents were obvious early on,"Peterson said."She pitched her way right past the older kids when I.E.S.A. middle school softball came to Barrington."
"The players I looked up to the most were the pitchers who hit or played other positions," she said."Being great at multiple aspects of the game is something I strive for, and it was made clear to me early on that being a good pitcher is great, but there are five tools to work on."Now she will do it at Princeton, wearing jersey No. 5.
