Arkansas slugger Bri Ellis latest to get AUSL Golden Ticket
It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone, but National Player of the Year frontrunner Bri Ellis will keep on bashing softballs. The Arkansas senior received the third Golden Ticket from the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL), which goes to the 12 college softball players drafted to the inaugural season, afer the team’s win over Colorado State.
Virginia Tech pitcher Emma Lemley earned the first Golden Ticket last week. Duke’s Ana Gold was given the second on Thursday.
Draftee team assignments will be revealed on May 3 on ESPNU at 9 p.m. ET during the AUSL College Draft Show. The show will feature special guests, AUSL Coaches and General Managers, NCAA Coaches, and more. Savanna Collins will host with analysis from Amanda Scarborough and Haylie McCleney.
Ellis, the NCAA active leader in home runs (69), has been the best hitter this season. She came into Friday with a .490 batting average, eight doubles, 21 home runs and 61 RBIs as well as a 42-10 walk-to-strikeout ratio.
