Denver Obermeyer admitted she was getting a little tired of teams pitching around her late in her senior season, but when you’re one of the best power hitters in South Jersey you have to expect some respect from opposing pitchers.
Denver could hit a softball a mile high, and deep, as she blasted nine home runs and batted .458 as a senior, leading Mainland Regional on one of the most improbable playoff runs in the state.
The Stangs were just 7-12 heading into the postseason, but rode Obermeyer’s hot bat to a berth in the sectional final before being stopped by Moorestown.
In her four-year varsity career, Obermeyer collected 99 hits, 71 RBIs, 80 runs scored, 19 home runs and 21 steals while hitting .360.
