After winning ECIC Division IV Pitcher of the Year honors as a sophomore, Cleveland Hill’s Kim Rohe certainly feels the pressure to keep the standard high this year. and she’s been able to do just that.
“It is a lot of pressure; I get nervous about it sometimes,” she said. “But it’s going well, my teammates really help me.”
Rohe has enjoyed another stellar season, both pitching and hitting the softball.
“She’s throwing the ball real well,” Cleveland Hill coach Dave Hehr said. “She’s good; she’s doing real well for us. And she can hit the ball, too.
Indeed, Rohe has continued to improve as a junior and that’s bad news for the opposing teams.
She’s led the Eagles to a 9-3 record in ECIC-IV play. She uses an assortment of effective pitches to keep the opposition wondering what’s coming next.
“curve and changeups and my fastball mostly, that’s what I like to use, she said. “Sometimes screweballs, too. Whatever it takes, I guess.”
The young Eagles got off to a slow start offensively, but things have really picked up lately.
“We’re really starting to hit the ball,” Rohe said. “We were having a hard time in the beginning of the season, but now we’re really getting it. It just stinks that the season’s almost over, now.”
Almost over, but not quite. The Eagles have high hopes for the postseason after reaching the Section VI semifinals a season ago.
“We want to do well in the playoffs,” Rohe said.
“We have a good team, we think we can do it.”
