Former Tucson softball standouts to play at Hillenbrand Stadium 

Two of the top high school softball pitchers from Tucson’s recent past will get a chance to play at Hillenbrand Stadium on Wednesday when New Mexico State plays a doubleheader against Arizona. Senior Makayla McAdams, who led Ironwood Ridge to the 2011 state championship game, and freshman Kayla Green, who won 19 games for Cienega’s state champs last spring, are expected to pitch for the Aggies. McAdams and Green have combined for 14 victories this season. NMSU also starts ex-Sahuaro outfielder Amy Bergeson. She was hitting .340 through Friday.
