Andrews starts in OF. Thornhill & Springfield compete for 1B. If she can hit like advertised Springfield will be the starter. Dawson & Weinburger will be pinch runners replacing the kids leaving. Doyle might start at 3B. Maybe Connie is moved there. That negates her range though, so I doubt it happens.

Dawson pinch runner?
Do some research...
Before the start of the year, Dawson, an LSU signee and MaxPreps.com preseason All-America selection, had already secured the national runs scored record with 285, according to the National Federation of High Schools. She’s already added 33 more to that total this season.
“This is something unique,” said Dawson, a Class 3A all-state selection and MVP on The Advocate’s Small School’s All-Metro team in 2015. “It’s up there with winning a state title and hopefully we can do that too. It’s something I do cherish. It’s something that’s written down. I understand records are meant to be broken, and maybe I’ll get to hold it and watch somebody else get close or break it.”
“It’s meant a lot to me to be able to coach a kid like her,” Parkview coach Ashlee Weems said. “It’s kind of bittersweet because I’m excited about the year, but I’m hoping it never ends. I know everything good has to come to an end, but I know she’s going to be pretty special at LSU.”
The next likely mark to fall will be career triples. Dawson needs one more to equal the 48 of Lansing (Mich.)-Cathedral Catholic’s Jodi Every (1996-99).
Given her skill set, Dawson seems destined to be able to repeat what is regarded by most baseball/softball observers as the most difficult hit in the game.
Start with Dawson’s natural speed — she’s been timed at 10.7 seconds from home to home — and add to that tremendous bat control and surprising power from a player who stands just 5-foot-7.
“Getting this record is kind of what I’m reaching for,” said Dawson, the Division II state indoor champion in the 60-meter dash at 7.70 seconds. “You don’t just want a double. You want to reach for something that people say is the hardest thing to do. It’s that more exciting.”
Dawson, who is batting .725 with 10 doubles, four homers and 21 RBIs, has the opportunity to become the national all-time leader in steals and push to become the career hits queen.

Thornhill at 1B? Dawson pinch runner?
You obviously don't know much about these players...
