Blake-Anne Fritsch Caps Career at Texas A&M

Even though college athletes whose seasons were cancelled this spring because of the coronavirus were granted the option of another year of eligibility, former La Grange softball star Blake-Anne Fritsch has decided to not use that additional year.

During her Aggie career, Fritsch appeared in 119 games, including 47 starts. She owned a .211 career batting average with 28 runs, one home run and seven RBIs.

She was on two state title softball teams at La Grange. Her younger sister Sydney was a red-short freshmen on this year’s A&M softball team.

In a statement over the weekend Blake-Anne Fritsch said, “For as long as I can remember I wanted to attend Texas A&M University, The University, its traditions and the Aggie Spirit is something I have always wanted to be a part of. Attending Texas A&M and getting an outstanding education while playing softball was a dream come true for me. Wearing the A&M uniform always gave me a sense of pride. I want to thank my family for all of the coutless hours they have spent watching me play the game I love, I could not have done it without them. These last four years have flown by and I am excited to say That I am graduating in May ... I will not be returning next year. I plan to further my education and get my masters degree. Although our season was cut short I will cherish all of the memories I have made in front of the 12th Man.”
