  Schwantz, Fremd getting it right May 7, 2013 12:00 AM
  Until her sophomore season at Fremd, senior Ashlynne Schwantz was a right-handed batter. But she credits Viking coach Jim Weaver with making the right move by switching her to the left side of the plate. Schwantz showed why Tuesday at Palatine. Moving into the No. 2 spot in the order for the first time, Schwantz reached base in all four of her at-bats, including 2 singles and 2 walks. The slap-hitting Schwantz not only keeps defenses off balance with her bat, she keeps offenses off balance with her arm. Weaver didn't change that at all. She still throws righty, and does it quite well. Constantly changing the speed of her pitches while throwing to classmate Kristine Herdegen, Schwantz picked up her 15th win of the season as the Vikings rolled past the Pirates 17-1 in 5 innings.
