Maddy Johnson, Junior, CF – Rome, PA/Northeast Bradford
 
Maddy Johnson picked up a hit in nine of her 10 at-bats in three games over the weekend, resulting in a .900 batting average and a 1.100 slugging percentage as Elmira opened the 2018 season. Johnson paced the Soaring Eagles in hits (9), runs (5), and stolen bases (2), as Elmira went 2-1 in the first weekend. The centerfielder went 2-for-3 with two runs scored in a 5-2 win over Hilbert on Friday, which included an incredible over-the-shoulder catch in center field to steal extra bases and prevent a run from scoring in the fourth inning. In Sunday's doubleheader against Cazenovia, she posted a hit in all seven at-bats. Johnson was a perfect 3-for-3 with a triple and two runs scored in a 14-2 victory in the early game and capped off the twin bill by batting 4-for-4 with one run and two stolen bases.
