Minot State Softball Inks Gramke
MINOT, N.D. – Minot State University softball coach, Bill Triplett, has signed former Dakota State University player, Leigh Gramke, to a Dakota Athletic Conference letter of intent. Gramke will join the Beavers for the spring semester in January.
In 2009, Gramke was awarded "Freshman of the Year" in the Dakota Athletic Conference where was an all-conference selection at Dakota State. She batted .354 with three home runs and 25 runs batted in for the Trojans. She finished with eight doubles, six triples and scored 23 runs. She will be a sophomore for Minot State.
“This is a big addition for us,” Triplett said. “Leigh is a very tough out. She's versatile as she can play third, short or catch. We believe Leigh will make our line up tougher to get through and our defense better.”
In high school, Gramke was named first-team Nebraska Super State player by the Lincoln Journal Star and a Class C first team All-State selection by the Omaha World-Herald following an outstanding 2007 season.
