Natasha told them that she ran a lot, did quickness drills, and lifted weights, but that the secret really was "in the genes." An hour later when they got to their car, one of the girls turned to the other and said, "We really have to start working out in jeans."

And she is not a small woman, much bigger in person than I expected. But when that bat touches the ball, she flies. It's like, step 1, step 2, gone..........

Yeah, she was bigger in person than I expected. And she hit a ball that most would have rounded 1B on and maybe thought about going for 2B - she stretched it into a triple.
