Six Names, One Standard

The 2026 Lincoln Land Loggers didn't just put together a strong season—they built a lineup and a pitching staff that demanded attention every single game.
It started with Faith Nestler, the anchor in the circle. With a 2.397 ERA over 61.1 innings and hitters managing just a .240 average, she controlled the pace of the game. When Lincoln Land needed a stop, Nestler delivered—seven wins and countless clutch outs proving she could handle any moment.
Behind her was an offense that never gave pitchers a break—led by Shelby Finchum.
Finchum wasn't just productive—she was relentless. A .452 average, 33 hits, and 14 doubles, all while striking out zero times. Every at-bat was a battle she refused to lose, turning consistency into dominance and setting the tone for everyone around her.

And if pitchers thought they could work around Finchum, they ran straight into Ele Feldmann.
Feldmann brought power that changed games instantly, posting a staggering .861 slugging percentage with five home runs and 31 RBIs—and like Finchum, never striking out once. Together, they formed one of the toughest middle-of-the-lineup combinations in the conference.
The depth didn't stop there.

Abby McDonald kept innings alive with a .421 average and a .522 OBP, finding ways on base any way possible—hits, walks, even taking pitches to get on.
Mollie Cascio added patience and presence, hitting .390 while drawing 16 walks, forcing pitchers into tough counts and capitalizing when it mattered.
And Brooke Goetter did everything else—power, speed, and sacrifice. With 21 hits, 20 runs, and a mix of extra-base hits and small-ball execution, she proved her value went far beyond the stat sheet.

Congratulations to all six student-athletes from Lincoln Land Softball.
