The senior is a career .401 hitter with 96 RBI, 56 runs, 25 doubles, 3 triples, and nine home runs. Makenzie has struck out just 23 times over four years. Flaska has played three different positions over the years, third base, pitcher and second base. With an over .900 career fielding percentage, Flaska was told she is slotted to play short stop at Newman.
