Hallie Wilson Announces Retirement
Hallie Wilson announced her retirement from the USSSA Pride and National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) league. Wilson played all four of her NPF seasons in a Pride uniform. The University of Arizona All-American was part of the Pride’s four NPF Regular Season Championships and 2018 Cowles Cup Championship.
“Playing for the USSSA Pride was an absolute dream come true. Wilson said in press release. Throughout my time on the Pride, I had more fun and made more friends than I ever thought imaginable. I am so grateful to Don DeDonatis for his vision to start and continue the Pride and I am lucky to have been a part of the team for as long as I was. Retiring is a hard but exciting decision for me, and I can’t wait to continue to cheer on the whole NPF and, most of all, the USSSA Pride!”
After a stellar 4 year professional career with the Pride, Hallie Wilson announces her retirement from softball.
Thank you Hallie, for everything you have done the last 4 seasons. We wish you nothing but the best!
