GLOBE LIFE FIELD, SAVANNAH ALONG
WITH TRINITY CANNON, THE BEST
HOME RUN HITTER IN THE DFW.
WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT SADY’S
SLIDE THERE ON THE GRADUATION
CEREMONY?
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT.
I DIDN’T THINK SHE WOULD DO IT.
SHE STARTED RUNNING.
I AM LIKE MY GOODNESS.
SHE IS GOING TO DO IT.
THE PRINCIPAL THOUGHT SHE FELL.
THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING.
SHE RAISED HER HANDS UP.
IT WAS AWESOME.
>> SHE KEPT TALKING ABOUT IT.
I AM LIKE YOU ARE NOT GOING TO
DO IT.
I AM LIKE YOU ARE HYPING
YOURSELF UP.
THERE’S NOTHING.
WE GET IN THERE.
SURE ENOUGH SHE STARTS RUNNING
AND I GO AND TALK TO HER AFTER
GRADUATION SHE SAID I HAD TO GET
A RUNNING START AND I DIDN’T
WANT TO JUST SIT THERE.
>> TELL ME THE FEELING THAT YOU
HAD ABOUT THIS YEAR’S TEAM
BECAUSE IT REALLY FELT LIKE YOU
WERE ON THE VERGE OF DOING
SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.
>> I THINK OUR BOND CARRIED OVER
ON THE FIELD AND BROUGHT ENERGY.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE EVERYBODY
COULD HAVE CAME TOGETHER.
>> SAVANNAH, THE WAY THAT I
LOOKED AT IT THERE IS NO
STOPPING YOU GUYS.
>> YEAH.
I HAD A REALLY GOOD FEELING
ABOUT THE SEASON.
IT WAS AN AMAZING GROUP.
>> I LOOK AT BOTH OF YOU, HIGHLY
RECRUITED.
TRINITY, YOU CHOSE TEXAS A&M.
YOUR GRANDFATHER WENT THERE AND
YOUR PARENTS WENT TO NORTH
TEXAS.
>> IT IS AN AMAZING FEELING.
SOON AS I DROVE TO CAMPUS AND
TALKED TO COACH EVANS IT WAS A
FAMILY ATMOSPHERE AND I LOVE
THAT.
THEY HAVE SO MANY TRADITIONS
FROM MIDNIGHT YELL TO THEIR
CHANTS.
IT IS A GREAT ATMOSPHERE TO BE
AROUND.
>> YOU CAN HIT .550.
YOU PICKED THE JAYHAWKS OF
KANSAS.
>> I LOOKED AT OTHER SCHOOLS BUT
I DIDN’T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE
ELSE.
THIS IS WHERE I WANTED TO GO.
IT FELT LIKE A LITTLE TOWN OF
FORNEY KIND OF.
EVERYBODY WAS SO WELCOMING.
>> TRINITY, WITH A NAME LIKE
TRINITY CANNON, WERE YOU
DESTINED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST
HOME RUN HITTERS IN THE STATE?
>> ME AND MY DAD PUT IN
COUNTLESS HOURS TOGETHER.
HE ACTUALLY HAD VACATION LAST
WEEK BECAUSE HE TOOK OFF TO
THROW BP TO ME A WEEK BEFORE
STATE.
IT IS THAT BOND THAT WE HAVE
TOGETHER.
>> I THINK ABOUT YOU SAVANNAH,
YOU CAN SWING FOR THE FENCES AND
NO-HIT SOMEBODY.
YOU HAVE THROWN SO MANY
NO-HITTERS YOU DON’T KNOW HOW
MANY YOU HAVE.
HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
>> I DON’T KNOW.
I AM REALLY FOCUSED.
PEOPLE ARE YELLING AT ME AND
CHANTING.
I CANNOT HEAR THEM.
I GET SO MUCH ENERGY.
I GET SO MUCH INTO THE GAME.
I LEARN TO HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE.
I AM HERE.
WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS.
>> TRINITY, YOU TALKED ABOUT
YOUR DAD.
YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH THE GAME
AT A YOUNG AGE BECAUSE OF HIM.
TELL ME ABOUT THAT WHOLE PROCESS
AND HOW MUCH YOU ENJOYED THAT AS
A KID.
>> I STARTED TO PLAY SOFTBALL
WHEN I WAS FOUR AND MY LOVE FOR
THE GAME NEVER DIED.
IF I HAD A TOURNAMENT, I WOULD
GO AND PLAY.
I AM NEVER TIRED OF IT.
NOT ONLY JUST STRIVING TO BE
BETTER, IT BRINGS ME CLOSER TO
MY FRIENDS AND IT IS MY FUN TIME
TO BE WITH EVERYBODY AND MAKING
MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A
LIFETIME.
>> SAVANNAH, WHEN DID YOU FALL
IN LOVE WITH THE GAME?
>> I WANTED TO BE A CATCHER
BEFORE A PITCHER.
THE BALL HIT ME IN THE SIDE ONE
TIME.
IT’S OVER.
I TOOK OFF THE GEAR.
I LEFT.
I AM A PITCHER AND I FELL IN
LOVE WITH BEING A PITCHER.
I PITCH ALL THE TIME.
I THINK IT WAS JUST MEANT TO BE.
I ALWAYS LOVED THE GAME AND I
HAVE A PASSION FOR IT.
>> SAVANNAH, WHEN YOU LOOK BACK
AT YOUR HIGH SCHOOL CAREER WHAT
WILL YOU CHERISH THE MOST?
>> I WILL CHERISH EVERYTHING
THAT I HAVE.
THE LAST TIME I WOULD PLAY WITH
THEM.
I REALLY HOPED THAT THE YOUNGER
GIRLS CARRY IT ON AND BE GOOD
TEAMMATES.
I REALLY HOPE THAT I WAS A GOOD
TEAMMATE TO EVERYONE.
AND I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS AN
AMAZING TEAMMATE.
>> I WILL REMEMBER THE GIRLS ON
MY SIDE.
I WOULD KEEP THAT BOND TOGETHER.
AND THAT OUR YOUNGER CLASSMATES
JUST REMEMBER WITH EVERYTHING
GOING ON THEY DON’T TAKE
ANYTHING FOR GRANTED AND THAT
THEY CAN REMEMBER US AND HOW IT
WAS AND HOW KIND HE WAS TO THEM
AND THEY CAN CARRY THAT ON FOR
US.
