Lisa Fernandez is ready to again befuddle the world's best hitters. Canyon Country, Calif., Bustos joined the national team last year and quickly cemented her reputation in softball circles by supplanting Richardson as the team's shortstop. Now she's just two weeks away from making a name for herself internationally. I'm stepping into a legend's shoes, said Bustos, who turns 23 on Sept. 8. As shortstop you are in control of the infield.
Dot is an awesome team player to go over to second.
To keep Dot's batting average and my batting average in the lineup is unreal. You can't take them out. Indeed, Bustos' numbers are too good to keep out of any lineup. In this year's pre-Olympic tour Bustos leads the U.S. team in hits, doubles, RBI, total bases and slugging pct. Being a rookie on the team, she did incredible things last year for us with her stick.
