Softball Soars To Victory Varsity again this year had a large set-up of power hitters and strong arms. The team only lost two senior players last year, one of which was the star pitcher. That position was quickly filled by Kim Braatz, who did a superb job. Kellie Kane, who played catcher and outfield on varsi- ty, was on a team this year that represented the USA in the Pan-American Games, a traveling softball tourna- ment. It took place March 19 through April 3, 1987 in Peru. ' The entire trip was paid for by Pan-American, added Kellie Kane. JV developed many new plays, and together they had a successful season. For the first time, Estancia had a Frosh-Soph softball team. All teams were very large. The softball spirit was high in Estancia.
