Pickens was well-represented in the 2013 Senior SPA Women’s Spring National Championship in Pensacola, Fla., on April 11-14. Sandy McJunkin Preusz played with the 45+ Carolina Snipers from Summerville. Her skills at first base, hard hitting, and base running helped her team to come in as first runner-up in that age group. Donna Duncan Garrett played with the Southern Stars, a 60+ team comprised of players from Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia. She played outfield at times and second base in other games. Jackie Roper McJunkin was most impressive with the 70+ Kentucky Thoroughbreds team. She had many incredible plays on first base and also an impressive show at bat, and was selected to the All-Tournament Team.
