Jul. 24—GRAND FORKS — Matti Kwarta had just seven at-bats as a freshman at San Diego State this year.
On July 11, she won the Northwoods League's home run derby, beating out the likes of Wisconsin's Hilary Blomberg and Washington's Ava Carroll.
Kwarta was primarily a pitcher for the Aztecs. This summer with the Grand Forks Spitfires, though, Kwarta is proving she's still a major threat at the plate.
"I hope to bring what I've been doing here back to SDSU to help my team," Kwarta said. "It gives me more confidence knowing that I can do this at this level, going against great pitchers. So hopefully when I go back, this carries over. ... I would love to be able to hit more and be able to pitch."
Kwarta leads the Spitfires with 13 home runs, and her .475 batting average ranks fourth in the Northwoods League.
