ALL-STAR TYPO

There was a typographical error in this morning’s Omaha World-Herald. In an account of the Nebraska Coaches Association All-Star softball doubleheader, held Wednesday at the sparkling University of Nebraska-Lincoln softball field, there was this sentence:

“Elkhorn’s Eden Williams also had a terrific defensive play and singled before Bryant singled home Columbus star Chelsey Woodside.”

Grammatically, it was correct. But typographically, it really should have been:

“Elkhorn’s EDEN WILLIAMS also had a terrific defensive play and singled before Bryant singled home Columbus star Chelsey Woodside.”

We are so proud of her: two amazing outfield catches, a double play and a well-timed snappy single in front of the largest crowd she’s ever played before, 875 people. They put up an enormous roar after her two catches that brought out that magnum smile. And her grandparents, two sisters, a beloved aunt, and friends were there to see it. For all the all-stars, it was fabulous icing on the cake for their high-school softball careers, and a great sendoff to college.

Here’s to Eden. You’ve come a long way, Baby.
