TEMPE – Senior sisters Kindra and Maddi Hackbarth earned All-American nods on Softball America's 2020 Shortened Season All-American list, released on Monday. The publication placed Kindra as a First Team and Maddi as a Third Team All-American.
The twins led the Sun Devil's in nearly every statistical category this season. They announced their decision to return to ASU next year after the NCAA's spring eligibility decision last week.
Kindra boasted a .443 batting average – fourth in the Pac-12 Conference – and a team-high 50% on-base percentage. She also leads the team in runs (32), hits (39), doubles (11) and total bases (70). The centerfielder led all outfielders with her 26 putouts in 29 game starts.
Maddi – the ideator of the team's #OnTheBoat motto – notched a conference-high .825 slugging percentage. Through 80 at-bats with 28 hits, including nine home runs – which ties teammate Alynah Torres for second-most in the Pac. A teammate to the core, Maddi leads the country in sacrifice flies with six. Her 32 RBI ranks fifth in the conference of champions and ninth nationally.
