Rittman on Splansky: "Deborah has really been a breath of fresh air for us. She's a hard worker, just a great kid. She had really a wonderful fall tournament for us, getting on base consistently. She's a left-handed slapper so that provides a different dimension for us offensively that we can use in the lineup. She's really been working hard on her defensive skills at second and improving daily."
