Kaida Tomlinson and Katie McIrvin are the first two batters in Stephenville’s softball lineup.  

The seniors are also Nos. 1 and 2 on the Honeybees’ defense as Tomlinson has taken over pitching duties and McIrvin starts at catcher.  

Stephenville’s top players will also be linked once they graduate this spring with both heading to play college softball at Texas Lutheran.  

But Tomlinson and McIrvin aren’t quite done leaving an imprint on the Honeybees’ program as they push toward a playoff spot in Parker Smith’s first season as head coach.
