BLOOMFIELD, N.Y. – Ashlyn Wright, a standout softball player from Bloomfield, led her team to a State Championship in June with an impressive career record of 87-8 and more than 1,000 strikeouts.
“Coming up short last year, but just bringing it back to the town for the first ever State softball title just meant so much for the team, the parents, and the community,” Wright said.
Wright is now set to transition from leading her softball team to serving in the Army, following in her parents’ footsteps.

Wright expressed her desire to uphold the values she was raised with, saying, “I grew up on those morals and the values of fighting for freedom, cuz it’s not always free, and I just want to carry that on with me.”
Her leadership skills on the field have prepared her for the military, she said.
“Having to be a leader since we are such a small school a lot of underclassmen, so having them look up to me and having the need to teach them and guide them through softball, especially in State Finals was something that really prepared me for the military,” said Wright.
Wright is ready for the challenges of basic training, embracing pressure as a motivator.
“I love pressure. I think I strive under it. When there’s not pressure I think I do horrible, but it’s nice that everyone has my back when it is a pressure situation,” Wright said.
Wright’s incredible season achievements include leading her team in wins, strikeouts, hits, and RBIs, and she was named the New York State Class C Player of the Year.
