oncord University Sports Information Director Wes McKinney has announced the addition of CU softball standout Darby Fitzpatrick to the sports information office staff for the 2020-21 academic year. Fitzpatrick joins the Concord sports information staff while finishing her final year of collegiate eligibility in the spring of 2021. In three-plus years on the softball diamond, Fitzpatrick has compiled a record of 24-18 as a pitcher with a 3.20 ERA in 327.2 innings. She ranks fifth in program history in wins, seventh in innings pitched and 10th in ERA. As a two-way player in the outfield, Fitzpatrick has collected 100 career hits with 50 runs scored and 39 RBI in 366 at-bats. Earlier this summer, the native of Pocomoke City, Md. was named to the Concord softball all-decade team. Outside of softball, Fitzpatrick has worked closely with the CU sports information office the last two years as the primary photographer for several athletic teams at Concord. “With Darby’s background in graphic design and photography, I’m excited for the next step we can take in our graphics production in the sports information office,” McKinney said. “Darby is very familiar with Concord and the operations of the sports information office. She will be a great addition.” With an undergraduate degree in studio art, Fitzpatrick is beginning studies in Concord’s Master of Social Work program this fall.
