She went out the way she came in -- with her bat swinging hard and spending a lot of time on base. She even recorded the final out of the season with her glove. Bethany Hine has been in the middle of the action around the HU softball team alsmost from the day she walked on campus. Her .368 batting average meabs she finishes her career here with a gaudy lifetime BA mark of .391. She went 4-for-8 in her final two games as a Piper last Friday in Mankato, finishing the season with a six-game hitting streak (11-for-24). She also earned a spot on the All-Tournament second team. Bethany led the 2013 Pipers in Batting Average , Runs (27), Hits (42), Total Bases (56), Doubles (7), Triples (2) and Stolen Bases (11). That's being a leadoiff hitter in every sense of the word.
