23U summer ball for NJ Fury.

Wesley Wolverine Junior 2B Bre Hartman is taking on new roles.

► Co-captain

Named co-captain of the Wesley team at the end of last season, along with Junior C/UT Morgan Seymour and Junior 3B Kayla Fromal, Bre also has a brand new responsibility as a club team coach this 2014 summer to add to her softball portfolio.

► First base coach

An alumni of the NJ Fury (Eatontown,NJ), she returned to her home in Red Bank, NJ, at the end of last semester, to join both her younger sister, Kaylee, who plays for the 18U Fury, and her older sister, Samantha, who serves as the team's third base coach. Bre now is shouting encouragement to batters and sending runners from her first base coach's box.

Samantha and Wolverine Bre Hartman

Samantha is a graduate of Keystone College, where she played for our own Wolverine Head Coach Juli Greep, who previously spent three years as head coach of the Keystone Giants. Kaylee will be a college freshman this fall and play for the William Patterson University Pioneers.

► 23U player

Bre and Samantha are still suiting up this summer to swing their bats as fastpitch players. Both are on the roster of the 23U NJ Fury squad.

► Competitor

But they are not always on the same side.

Two years ago, Bre and Samantha squared off against each other as the Wesley Wolverines contested the Keystones Giants on spring break in Myrtle Beach during 2013.

23U NJ Fury this summer.

In that game, Samantha was 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored as Keystone triumphed 8-6. 

 
“They are teammates, competitors, but always family” noted Coach Greep about the close relationship between these three sisters who also love the game of softball.

On the horizon some day: Bre & the Wesley Wolverines versus younger sister Kaylee & the William Patterson University Pioneers? It's possible. Time will tell.
