Though, ultimately she couldn’t go because of a credit situation. Luckily for Clackamas Com munity College she met Jessica Buel, CCC’s head softball coach, through her summer coach and signed and. started practicing a few weeks later. Suter, who was an All-American pitcher during the 2010 season, is now in her second year at Clacka mas. “My dad,” Suter said with a smile, explaining who got her started with softball in the first place. “I actually started with t-ball when I was 6 and I really didn’t like it, and he was like ‘stick with it; stick with it.’” Suter said that it was through meeting people and going to pitching clinics with her dad that she found she really liked to pitch and was good at it., “My dad definitely kick started this whole thing for me,” she said. “She’s really dedicated to the sport but also on the field she is funny and makes us all^relax so much,” said Katie Aden, a freshman centerfielder for the softball team and Suter’s best friend. “She’s really confident, too. We all believe in her.” Aden and Suter have known each other since they were little. They played on little league beams against, one another and eventually played on an all-star team together. They both went to Tigard High School and that’s when Aden said they got really close. She explained that, although the softball team doesn’t have a captain, the freshman look up to the sopho’mores and they all get along well. “On a lot SUTER of other teams, there’s drama, but we’ve al really close and that’s cool,” she said. “She’s a butthead” were the first words th® Edwards said when describing Suter.
