PRINCE GEORGE— Prince George pitcher Amanda Asay has been posthumously inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
“I think of Amanda everyday so it was with tremendous pride to learn that she will be inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame,” says Loris Asay, Amanda Asay’s mother, in a interview with the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. “She would be, as I am, thrilled to know of this recognition of her commitment to the sport of baseball. Thanks so much.”
Asay joined the Women’s National Baseball Team in 2005 and became on of the longest-tenured players, having been a member for 17 years. At the 2006 Women’s Baseball World Cup, she earned All-Tournament honours at first base and was named the Women’s National Team Most Valuable Player. That year, the Canadian Team won bronze.
Ten years later, she earned the same honour for her pitching. At the Women’s Baseball World Cup in 2016, she tossed the entire game propelling Canada to a 2-1 victory against the Chinese Taipei squad. In addition to her excellence on the mound, she batted .333 to help Canada to silver at the tournament.
