Emily Hurst's answer? Never had she ever. That came from a question posed to Hurst, the Rosary graduate and a slugging freshman shortstop for Waubonsee Community College. Had she ever batted leadoff before coach Joe Spitzzeri wrote her name at the top of his lineup card for the Chiefs on their 10-game trip to Florida to open the 2023 season? 'Never in my life,' said Hurst, who had always batted in a traditional run-producing spot lower in the order. The notion wasn't completely foreign to her, however.
