To be considered for Player of the Month, your team must score League games in AGL so your stats will be included in the League\u2019s monthly report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deschanel Donovan\u2019s softball journey begins at the age of four in Canada, playing alongside her older sister.
