Members of Alpha Phi compete in “Tugs” Monday afternoon at the Campus Pond. They won the round against Alpha Gamma Delta.
Tugs Takeover: By Jordan Boyer Photo Editor | @DEN_News Sororities came out and gave it their all in the first Tugs competition of the week at Campus Pond Monday afternoon. There were three matches: Alpha Phi versus Alpha Gamma Delta, with Alpha Phi winning; Delta Delta Delta versus Delta Zeta
Alpha Phi, Delta Zeta, Kappa Delta win first round of Tugs Monday
with Delta Zeta winning and Tri Delta versus Kappa Delta with Kappa Delta winning. Coaches for Kappa Delta Michael Roggenkamp, a senior sociology major and Michael O’Connor, a kinesiology and sports studies major, said they trained for two months “every single day” to prepare for Tugs. After the win, they said it felt so worth it after all of their hard work.
Hannah Gillaspie, a history major and a member of Alpha Gamma Delta, said it was “pretty rough,” to lose, adding that Tugs has never really been the sororities highest point. “So we’re pretty hyped about winning Airband, so I think it will be OK, it was rough though,” she said. Audrey Villalpando, a junior marketing major, and a member of Tri-Delta who com-
peted in Tugs, said she feels bad losing because they worked so hard to compete in this event. However, she said it was still a good battle in the end. The winners of this event compete again Wednesday, and the fraternities compete Saturday.

Edible Book Festival showcases creative displays By Analicia Haynes Managing Editor | @Haynes1943 The Marvin Foyer inside Booth Library smelled like a bakery Monday afternoon as faculty, students and community members judged entries for the eighth annual Edible Book Festival. The festival kicked off National Library Week and featured “edible” displays that depicted several books including the “Harry Potter” series, “A Wrinkle in Time” and “The Giving Tree.” Debbie Meadows, a registration coordinator in Blair Hall, was with her three grandchildren who entered two displays. Meadows said her grandchildren have participated in the festival every year, and this was the fourth year for them. Abelynn Dick and her sister Alice are both from Charleston and worked together with their grandma (Meadows) on their entry, which was inspired by the novel “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle. “My dad likes to read it to me at night, so I chose this book, and I thought it would be
a good idea to do a wrinkled clock,” Abelynn said regarding the reason why she picked “A Wrinkle in Time” to base her creation off of. “It’s a really good book.” Their design was made out of Rice Krispie treats, fondant and different colored Twizzlers that were used to represent the hands and numbers on a clock. They said they were very proud of their work, and Abelynn said her favorite part about participating in the festival every year is making her displays. “I like to cook things so I want to cook when I’m older,” Abelynn said. When it comes to books though, Abelynn and Alice said their favorite part about reading is figuring out what happens at the end. Haley Ingram, a special education and early childhood education major, decided to participate in the festival since Ingram already works in the library. Ingram said the festival is a good way to bring not just the Eastern community together, but the Charleston community as well. Festival, page 5

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has already apologized to users for not doing enough to protect their privacy. Now he plans to apologize to Congress, saying in prepared testimony that Facebook hasn't done enough to prevent its tools from being used for harm. Zuckerberg's written statement was released ahead of two days of congressional hearings in which he will not only try to restore public trust in his company but also stave off federal regulation that some lawmakers have floated. His company is under fire in the worst privacy crisis in its history after it was revealed that Cambridge Analytica, a data-mining firm affiliated with Donald Trump's presidential campaign, gathered personal information from 87 million users to try to influence elections. In the testimony released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which he is expected to deliver Wednesday, Zuckerberg apologizes for fake news, hate speech, a lack of data privacy and foreign interference in the 2016 elections on his platform. Zuckerberg will testify before a joint hearing of the Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees on Tuesday and before the House panel on Wednesday.
On Monday, he met privately with the leaders of the Senate committees. After resisting previous calls to testify, Zuckerberg agreed to come to Capitol Hill this month after reports surfaced — and the company confirmed — that Cambridge Analytica had gathered Facebook users' data. In the remarks, Zuckerberg said his company has a responsibility to make sure what happened with Cambridge Analytica doesn't happen again. Zuckerberg is also expected to be asked about Russia's use of U.S. social media during the 2016 elections — a subject of several congressional investigations and special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference. In the statement, Zuckerberg addresses Russian election interference and acknowledges, as he has in the past, that the company was too slow to respond and that it's "working hard to get better." The company has said that as many as 146 million people may have received information from a Russian agency that's accused of orchestrating much of the cyber meddling in the election. The prepared remarks do not reveal new information about how data was shared or what Facebook will do. In addition to saying he is sorry — something
he has done several times already — Zuckerberg outlines the steps the company has taken to restrict outsiders' access to people's personal information. He also says the company is investigating every app that had access to a large amount of information before the company moved to prevent such access in 2014 — something that came too late in the Cambridge Analytica case. Zuckerberg met Monday with Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, the top Democrat on the Senate Commerce panel. Democrats like Nelson have argued that federal laws might be necessary to ensure user privacy. Republicans so far have shown little appetite for such regulation, but that could change if there are future privacy scandals or Democrats gain control of Congress in this November's elections. Separately, Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post Monday that the company is establishing an independent election research commission that will look into the effects of social media on elections and democracy. He said the commission will work with foundations across the U.S. to set up a committee of academic experts who will come up with research topics and select independent researchers to study them.
Clinton investigtion continues WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department has tapped a federal prosecutor in Chicago to respond to Republican demands for documents on the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, after President Donald Trump accused officials of "slow walking" their release. The department is facing mounting pressure from Republicans to fulfill a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee for more than a million documents as it examines the agency's 2016 investigation into Clinton's private email server. Trump on Saturday slammed the pace of the response, tweeting, "What does the Department of Justice and FBI have to hide?" and says the agencies are "stalling, but for what reason? Not looking good!" Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray responded this weekend. They asked Chicago's U.S. attorney, John Lausch,
to ensure document production is fast and that any redactions are necessary. He will also be available to meet with lawmakers. "Our goal is to assure Congress, the president and the American people that the FBI is going to produce the relevant documents and will do so completely and with integrity and professionalism," Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said in a statement. The Republican chairman of the committee, Rep. Robert Goodlatte of Virginia, is also seeking documents related to Sessions' firing last month of former deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. An upcoming inspector general's report is expected to conclude that McCabe had authorized the release of information to the media and was not forthcoming with the watchdog office as it examined the bureau's handling of an investigation into Clin-
ton's emails. Goodlatte said late last month he had only received a few thousand of the 1.2 million documents he had requested in that investigation, which has long been a source of Republican frustration. The FBI has doubled the number of people working on the request to 54 staffers who are working each day from 8 a.m. to midnight. The Justice Department said it would produce an additional 3,600 pages on Monday. The addition of Lausch, a Trump appointee, didn't appease House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Trey Gowdy, who said he was struggling to understand Lausch's role. "How is injecting someone new into an ongoing review and production process calculated to expedite the process?" he said.
Rauner calls meeting, pushes balanced budget SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Gov. Bruce Rauner says he has called a meeting for Thursday with legislative leaders to discuss the final weeks of the spring session. The Republican told reporters in Chicago Tuesday that his top priority is a balanced budget for the year that begins July 1. The plan he laid out in February would balance it by radically changing state-employee pension programs, limiting health insurance benefits and requiring school districts to pay portions of teachers' pensions. Democrats who control the Legislature generally oppose the insurance and teachers' pension provisions. Rauner says he will also push for property tax reductions, seek to revamp an incentive program for economic growth, await a task force recommendation on reducing gun violence, pursue stronger sexual-harassment penalties and continue his yearslong push for officeholder term limits.
U of Chicago Medicine gets final approval for trauma center CHICAGO (AP) — University of Chicago Medicine has received the final go-ahead to open an adult trauma center on Chicago's South Side, which hasn't had one for more than 25 years. The health system said Monday that it will launch service 8 a.m. May 1. An Illinois Department of Public Health spokeswoman said Monday that the agency last week issued a notification officially approving the university's trauma center after a survey of the facility. The hospital will have the specialized staff and equipment to treat patients who suffer traumatic injuries from vehicle crashes, gunshot wounds, burns and falls. Community activists have been pushing for years for adult trauma care on Chicago's South Side. The area hasn't had such care since 1991 when Michael Reese Hospital in the Bronzeville neighborhood closed its trauma center.

Benjamin Hay, an associate professor from Northeastern State University, plays the trumpet while music professor Jonathan Bowman plays the piano during the Guest Artist Series in the Doudna Fine Arts Center Recital Hall. They performed “Centennial Horizon” on the piano and trumpet among others.
Guest trumpet player, professor perform By Olivia Swenson-Hultz Associate News Editor | @DEN_News Guest artist Benjamin Hay, playing the trumpet, reunited with his undergraduate professor and performed with music professor Jonathon Bowman, who played piano, during the Guest Artist Series Monday night. Music professor Andy Cheetham was Hay’s trumpet teacher when Hay attended Oklahoma State University 14 years ago. “He would come into my office and we would play trumpet together. We both play classical style. I played with him during recital at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma last semester, so this is our way of exchange,” Cheetham said.
Hay dedicated his final piece, “Farewell to Stromness,” to Cheetham. He said it is a musical love note to a small town in Scotland and described the piece as simple, folk-like and lyrical. “My favorite piece was the last one because I got to say thank you to one of my favorite teachers,” Hay said. Bowman said he met with Hay the night before and only ran through their pieces once. “It’s always great to find a musician you can just click and play with. He knows his pieces really well so it all fit together nicely. He’s a really great musician,” Bowman said. Another piece Hay played portrayed Centennial, Colorado, with the first movement describing a high Rocky Mountain Aspen Grove and the second
WE ARE WE'RE HIRING! HIRING
movement describing the whitewater rapids of the Roaring Gunnison river. “I went to school in New Mexico and would frequently visit my brother in Colorado. I’ve spent a lot of time hiking in the Rocky Mountains, and it’s one of my favorite things to do. This piece is fairly cinematic and reminds me of the music of John Williams,” Hay said. Another piece that was featured was called “Marfa Lights,” which is about Marfa, Texas. Hay said it is an art hotspot where people claim to see UFO lights. Hay said he has nothing but good things to say about performing at Eastern. “It was a very welcoming experience and the students were very receptive. This is a beautiful facility,” Hay said.
Keaton Shumard, a sophomore music education major, said he was inspired by Hay and Bowman’s performance. “I like being able to learn from guest artists that come to the university. Overall, the concert was well performed, and it was nice to listen to some classical contemporary music,” Shumard said. Hay attended Oklahoma State University for his undergraduate degree and then attended the University of New Mexico to obtain his master’s in music performance. Currently, he works as a trumpet theory instructor at Northeastern State University. Olivia Swenson-Hultz can be reached at 581-2812 or omswensonhultz@eiu.edu.
This year’s Interdisciplinary Center for Global Diversity Symposium is set for 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Arcola/Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. This is the seventh year the symposium is taking place at Eastern. Jenny L. Davis, an anthropology professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a citizen of the Chickesaw Nation, will give a speech. The title of the speech is “From Standing Rock to Two Spirit Gathering: Indigenous Languages Reclamation in ‘Unexpected Places.’” The News desk can be reached at 581-2812 or dennewsdesk@gmail.com.

Take up free offers on campus It’s that time of the semester again. Our refund checks are long gone. The motivation to keep chugging along for the last three weeks of the semester has long disappeared. During this brief but crucial time, it is often difficult to find an outlet for our stress and take a short mental vacation from our responsibilities that is both affordable and accessible. However, there are places you can go for little to no cost on campus. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of these places and activities you can do for a study break: 1. Check out art exhibits at the Tarble Arts Center. Cost: Free. The Tarble Arts Center hosts several exhibitions throughout the school year. Featuring both professional and student artists, spending an afternoon walking through exhibits will give your mind a break from the real world to enter one filled with different perspectives drawn, painted and molded by both professional artists and your fellow students. 2. Attend activities and join classes at the Student Recreation Center. Cost: Free. The Student Recreation Center offers fitness classes, fitness groups and intramural sports that invite all students to sign up and register for. Even better, it is the perfect opportunity to spend more time with friends outside of your comfort zone and residence hall. Being active can be fun, and through the Recreation Center it is also free. 3. Rent movies from Booth Library. Cost: Free. One of the best things about Eastern’s Wi-Fi is the access to the plethora of cinema on EIU Movies on Demand. However, when you live off campus this access is limited. Lucky for off-campus students— and on-campus students of course—Booth Library has an extensive collection of DVDs, VHS tapes and CDs. The collection is stocked with new releases and classics. All you need is your Panther card. Students can also run into opportunities for quick fun or a quick bite to eat while walking on campus from class to class. Throughout the year, registered student organizations, sororities, fraternities and departments often set up tables around campus and offer students treats between classes, opportunities to donate and much more. All you need to do is keep your eyes peeled. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Do not rush important life decisions Lately, I have been reflecting on my life and all the what-if ’s. There are so many different routes that I could have taken in life, but I have to say the route I am on right now is the best choice. When I was 18 years old, I met a guy six years older than me. Here I was, this young, naive and immature adult who thought he had everything figured out. We literally started dating within 24 hours after we met—I know, quite the rush. Within three weeks of dating, we started talking about marriage. Why I was so obsessed with the idea of getting married, I cannot figure it out to this day. You see, I am a hopeless romantic, and I am in love with the idea of being in love. I really thought I loved this guy, but truth be told I had no idea what love truly was. He ended up buying an engagement ring and proposed to me after three weeks. I will never forget walking into my house with him to tell my parents the news. They were not happy.
Andrew Paisley Fast forward to a few hours later. Even though I wanted to be engaged, married and happy, part of me kept telling myself that this was not right. I decided to give him the ring back. I told him we could continue our relationship, but wait on the engagement thing until we had dated much longer. Needless to say, the relationship ended in a matter of days. I look back now and thank
God that I made the right move. You see, this guy had a drug problem and was also very controlling of me. I had to text him all throughout the day or I would get scolded. The whole situation was truly messed up. I think about that relationship and think about what would have happened if we had gone through with the engagement and gotten married. I can tell you right now that life would not be good. We would be living in his parents’ home with no money, and I probably would have dropped out of community college and not have gone to Eastern. I want to encourage everyone to not rush their life away. There is plenty of time for marriage and starting a family. Spend the short amount of time that you have getting your education and having fun. Andrew Paisley is a junior journalism major. He can be reached at 581-2812 or at abpaisley@eiu.edu.
Keep a tender heart despite challenges There is no charm like tenderness of the heart. Charm here may mean and represent two different phenomena or ideas. First, it may refer to that charming nature that is so powerful to attract people because of their unique, kind hearts. Second, from the perspective of Yorùbá cultural interpretation, charm—also known as “Ogun Ibile”—is like traditional medicine made of plants, herbs and leaves to cure stress, anxiety and other spiritual warfare. The term tenderness may imply humanity, kindliness, concern and sympathy. This may serve as natural antidotes equivalent to two powerful phenomena of attraction and be the divine key to solving and conquering life obstacles. Speaking from the standpoint of a Yoruba man: Òwe is a speech form that likens one thing or situation to another. Òwe, widely known as proverbs, is a great deal in the Yoruba culture, and it is often deduced from close observation of life, life forms and their characteristics, the environment and natural phenomena.” For example, an òwe says ‘’Inu rere lo n ko ni yo.” In connection to the notion of natural antidote, this proverb implies that your good mind to others is the key to endure and conquer all life
Toluwalase Solomon obstacles. The concept of character is also referred to by Yoruba as “IWA,” a set of qualities that make somebody distinctively interesting or attractive, especially somebody’s qualities of mind and feelings. As humans, we are all bound to face life obstacles, but the most important questions we should ask ourselves is if those obstacles have made us become bitter or better individuals in the society. From experience, I understand that it is very challenging to maintain poise, strength and tenderness because of the implications and discour-
agement of the preconceived notions and prejudices that seem undetectable from our racial, social and cultural identities. These challenges may be tough to overcome because of the psychological effects the reified connotations of our identities. Instead of becoming bitter, it is more beneficial to be creative and turns those obstacles into a stepping-stone to become a better person. The concept of the attractive and medicinal nature of tenderness can help contribute to the wellbeing of the society. The wellbeing of a society is grossly dependent on the peace and unity maintained by every individual component of the community while engaging in social interactions. The wellbeing may only be achieved if we keep up the good deeds, respect other people’s values and cherish the small things like putting a smile on people’s faces. In conclusion, tenderness is free of coercion and it requires no price but can be a great tool for shared humanity and antidote to get through life obstacles. Toluwalase Solomon is a grad student in communication studies. He can be reached at 581-2812 or tvsolomon@eiu.edu.

Katie Jenkins, senior biological sciences major, walks up to recieve her award from Ellen Corrigan, the organizer of the Edible Book Festival, Monday night in Booth Library. Jenkins won the People’s Choice Award for her display, which was based on “Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket,” by Barbara Park.
“It’s a great way to just interact with people you might not have thought to interact with. You’re interacting with so many people with so many creative ideas,” Ingram said. Ingram’s display represented “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein, a favorite childhood book. “It’s just a story of love and giving and taking, and I just wanted to create that,” Ingram said. Ingram said the festival is a way to incorporate the love of books and learning into a creative and fun aspect. “A lot of people have this stigma that reading books is nerdy and boring, and this just proves otherwise,” Ingram said. After spending days figuring out what to create, Ingram used a glass cake pan so people could see the small layer of chocolate cake that represented the roots of the “tree.” After adding a layer of “green grass,” Ingram said she used Rice Krispie treats to create the brown, chocolate frosted tree stump that sat on top of the thin layer of cake. Ingram used frosting to create the grass on her display and apple slices to show that it was an apple tree. As a student though, Ingram said the festi-

val helped her grow by understanding how to manage time and think creatively. “It’s so hard to forget as a student that you can’t just follow the road in front of you, you have to be creative as well, otherwise you’re just going to be a sheep in a flock,” Ingram said. Bill Schultz, a cataloging librarian in Booth, looked at each display with his young son Henry. After voting for their favorite display, Schultz said it was fun bringing his son to the festival because he knew some of the books. “It’s definitely nice for him, and there’s a lot of good entries this year.” Two displays won the Judge’s Choice Award and the People’s Choice Award, and there were two Honorable Mentions. Katie Jenkins, senior biological sciences major, won the People’s Choice Award for her display, which was based on “Junie B. Jones Has a Peep in Her Pocket” by Barbara Park. She used blue fondant to create overalls with a pocket and a yellow peep sticking out of the pocket to represent a chick. Analicia Haynes can be reached at 581-2812 or achaynes@eiu.edu.

The last place finish was the worst for the Panthers in both the fall and spring seasons. “Our team as a whole didn’t perform as well at this tournament. We were missing our No. 3 scorer and that certainly hurt our team score this week,” Bahr said. “We definitely need to work on our wedges and short game. We threw away a lot of easy strokes today.” There was a large gap in separation between Eastern and the teams at the top of the standings, and also in the middle of the standings as far as that is concerned. There was a 15-stroke gap between the Panthers and the eigth place team, Fort Wayne. Loyola won the tournament with a score of +38 par. Northern Iowa finished one behind them at +39 par.

Eastern looks to snap losing streak By Adam Shay Baseball Reporter | @DEN_Sports Coming off a two-game losing streak against Southeast Missouri, the Eastern baseball team has a mid-week game against Southern Illinois-Carbondale on Tuesday. The Salukis have an overall 17-14 record and are coming off an 8-0 win against Valparaiso. However, despite the better overall record compared to the 10-19 Panthers, Eastern won the match-up last year 10-7 on March 29. Over the past four games, Southern Illinois-Carbondale has had success on its home field, winning three of those games. As for the Panthers, the team has compiled a 9-13 record on the road, los-
ing their last two games to Southeast Missouri. With a struggling offense, the Panthers will be challenged against a wellrounded Saluki pitching staff. As a team, their combined ERA is 4.45, but as the game goes into later innings, the relief pitching has not been as effective. During the Panthers’ season, the team has had all the components to put together a winning series, yet all aspects of the game have been dispersed. There have been games when the Panthers have tallied high run totals, but the pitching has not supported the offense. It also works vice versa, when the pitching will provide a stellar performance, but does not receive run support. Even with solid pitching coming from sophomore pitcher Alex Stevenson and junior Tyler Jones, the batters must
give them a sense of security. The Panthers’ team batting average slumped the past two games, being held to only two runs. Some batters have had their averages drop; however, sophomore catcher Ryan Knernschield has been swinging the bat well, leading the team with a .340 average. An overlooked area on the Panthers’ team has been their defensive breakdown. Over the weekend, the Panthers tallied three more errors; two in the first game win and one in the third game loss. As a team, the Salukis have had success coming from their bats. Four every day starters have .300 batting averages or higher, as well as three other players achieving that mark who have not started as many games.
Specifically, senior shortstop Connor Kopach has been a dominant offensive force for the Salukis, starting with playing in all 31 games. On the season, Kopach leads the team in multiple categories: .373 average, 11 doubles and 47 hits. Taking the mound for the Panthers is freshman Blake Malatestinic, who has had a rough go this year. With only throwing 19.1 innings so far, Malatestinic will have the chance to improve his
9.31 ERA against a solid hitting Saluki lineup. Going into Southern Illinois-Carbondale’s game, it is the perfect opportunity for the Panthers to bring everything together to prepare for a home weekend series. The game will start at 5 p.m. on the Itchy Jones Stadium. Adam Shay can be reached at 581-2812 or acshay@eiu.edu.
GAME 30 SOUTHERN ILLINOIS VS. EASTERN ILLINOIS 5 P.M. TUESDAY C ARBONDALE, IL.
Softball team to play 6 games in 5 days By Sean Hastings Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports It has been over two weeks since the Eastern softball team has played an OVC game and now the rainouts, or snowouts, are catching up to the Panthers. Wednesday will be the start of the Panthers’ attempt to play six OVC games over a five-day stretch. Eastern was supposed to host Southeast Missouri March 30 for a doubleheader, but it was canceled due to the weather. The makeup date was set for Wednesday, and Eastern already had road doubleheaders against Tennessee-Martin Saturday and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Sunday. Four teams in the OVC have already played 10 games, three have played eight and three have played six. Eastern has played more games than half of the conference even with the rainouts. Eastern cruised to 20 non-conference wins to open its season, but once OVC play started, the rain never stopped and winter came back to Charleston to cancel eight out of nine games.

Freshman Megan Burton catches a line drive in the top of her glove in the seventh inning of the Panthers’ win over Indiana State last Thursday at Williams Field. Eastern has played just four OVC games while four teams have played 10.
The Panthers are the only team in the OVC with less than 10 losses. Having as much time off as it did, Eastern was strong in its return to the field Thursday where it was able to sneak in one game
against Indiana State before the cold weather roared back to Charleston to postpone its next four games. Senior Jessica Wireman fired a complete game shutout where two of the
three hits she gave up were soft hit balls that never made it past her in the circle. She gave up a single to center in the seventh, but pitched her way out of both innings. Coach Kim Schuette said Eastern did not do anything flashy in the game, but were able to get five timely hits that scored runs. And while Wireman continues to overpower every team she faces, a few timely hits might be all the Panthers need to keep winning. The three teams Eastern has ahead have a combined 15-10 record. Tennessee-Martin is one of the teams that have played 10 games in OVC play but hold a 4-6 record. For the Panthers, the rainouts have become too normal, but having a chance to play OVC games, especially Wednesday at home, has Eastern excited. “The team is just ready to play,” said junior Kayla Bear. “Honestly, we are just so excited to be back on the field again. We’ve been training and practicing like crazy and can’t wait to show everyone how hard we’ve been working.” Bear has always been known to be a base stealer as she is always near the top of
the OVC in stolen bases at the end of the year, but she feels she has been seeing the ball at the plate better this year, she said. She said Schuette and the other coaches wrote numbers on softballs, tennis balls and baseballs with two different colors to help the Panthers improve on hitting. The coaches would hide the number and color and toss it to the plate and the hitter would have to say what color and number was on the ball. The drills have helped Bear. “I’m the type of hitter that will swing at pretty much everything in the strike zone,” Bear said. “Being able to see the ball (better) has helped me lay off of the pitches that could be balls. When I got the chance to work on my hitting with the balls with the numbers it got me back to where I was before.” Bear said as a lefty, slap hitter, she has many tools to be able to get the ball in play, so when one is not working, she switches over to another.
