RIDGEWOOD — Ridgewood’s Nicole Parks might just be one of the best-kept secrets in Bergen County softball.
Unable to pitch for much of last season because of a high right ankle sprain suffered six days before opening day, the hard-throwing right-hander was limited to roaming the Maroons’ outfield most of the season.
Now healthy, Parks is front and center on the pitching circle for the Bergen Blazers and showcasing her talent to coaches around North Jersey.
“She’s been awesome all summer,” Blazers coach Donna Skettini said after Parks dazzled both in the circle and at the plate in Saturday’s 7-3 win over the New Jersey Sparks.
Good for Nikki..!
Good for her! Love to see great kids do well, and she is a great kid!
She’s my neighbor, great kid, hard worker. Good for her. This is a tough town to stand out and she is able to do that.
