MCC softball inks MHS standout

(MERIDIAN) – Meridian Community College softball head coach, Robert Eakins, announced that Meridian high School standout Victoria Moore has signed with the Lady Eagles.

Moore, a left-handed outfielder and pitcher for the Cats, has been named All Division 5A five times in slow pitch and fast pitch softball. In her junior season, she was named All State 5A after batting .439 in 2007.

In 2007 she led the Cats to Division and South State Championships and a Runner-Up finish in the State Championship.

As a senior she led the team in batting average with a .407, runs batted in and slugging percentage. She was named best defensive outfielder with a .965 defensive average and was given the Slugging Award and Pitching Award.

“Although Victoria is listed as an outfielder she is a player that can play several positions. We recruited her to play the outfield but as the year will unfold we may count on her to help us in several positions,” said MCC coach Robert Eakins.

“Coming of a good career at MHS she has the chance to a great player for us. She is a raw athlete that has good speed, size, arm strength, and a natural swing at the plate. The tools are there it is just a matter of her adapting quickly to the game at this level. We are looking forward to working with her and using her talents to help us have a great deal of success the upcoming season.”
