TWU SOFTBALL COACH AND PLAYER RECOGNIZED BY
NFCA
Baker & Ingram Acknowledged at National Convention
HOUSTON,
Tex.– Texas Woman’s University head
softball coach Dianne Baker and former catcher Jami
Ingram (Richmond, British Columbia) were both honored during last
week’s National Fastpitch Coaches Association Convention.
Baker, who is entering her seventh season at TWU and 22nd
year of coaching in the college ranks, was recognized for achieving
her 700th career victory. Baker has compiled a 724-422-3 (.631)
career record, which moves her into fifth place among NCAA
Division II active head coaches. She has posted a 224-130-2
(.629) record during her tenure at TWU.
Ingram was named the 2003 NFCA Diamond Catcher of the Year
in NCAA Division II. A First Team All-America selection, she
finished the 2003 season with a .333 batting average, 53 hits,
13 doubles, as well as 141 putouts and 17 assists defensively.
She set four TWU school records: most home runs in a season
(14) and career (18) and most RBIs in a season (56) and career
(92). Ingram is the first TWU player to win the Diamond Catcher
of the Year.
“We are extremely proud of Jami for receiving this prestigious
award,” Baker said. “Only three catchers in the
entire country are honored in this way. It not only reflects
positively on the University, but to her character and ability
as an athlete.”
