Alongside Watkins and Madick is co-captain Lauren Bettinelli, who split innings with Brotemarkle last season. Her career ERA of 2.45 ranks eighth on Harvard’s all-time list, and she also boasts the Crimson’s second-lowest career opponent batting average of .224.
The “Freshman Tripod,” as they have christened themselves, consists of pitchers Shelly Madick and Amanda Watkins, and first baseman-outfielder Danielle Kerper.
Amanda Watkins, known to most as “A-Wat” or “Ocho,” is poised to immediately bolster Harvard’s rotation.

“Every girl who plays in college is here for a reason,” Watkins said. “Everyone has a specific skill that they’re here for.”
