When I went 7 straight shutout innings against one of the best pitchers I have ever faced, Dakota Schiller from Athletics Gold. It was a thrill to see that competition.

I feel like any failure is a learning moment. 



Who is your role model and or idol, and why?

Ava Brown is my role model because she is a pitcher and has a great bat even up to college. Also, she has a great number 00.



If you could spend a day with any softball player, former or current, who would it be and why?

Kelly Barnhill. I attended my first Gator softball game when I was 5. I remember seeing her pitch, and I thought, "That's what I want to do".

To play for the University of Florida!! Go gators!

I give everything I've got, every inning of every game.

The loudest cheerleader in the dugout.



Who would you like to thank for your softball achievements and support?

My father, Stanley Hajec. For pushing me when I needed it. Without him, I would not be the player I am today.
