Local talent, a big hit for Odessa College Softball
ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – The 2025 roster for the Odessa College softball team features eight players from outside the United States and 12 from the United States. Sophomore infielder Renske Tellekamp from Zoetermeer, Netherlands, leads the team in home runs with 16, and her family was in town and got to see one of them, which Head Coach Doug Eastman called a special moment. The Lady Wranglers finished the regular season at 46-6 overall and 24-0 in the conference as they prepare for their fifth straight World Series. The team is led by four players who used to play high school softball in the Permian Basin, and all four were named first team all-conference this season. 'It's just a neat thing when they can now all come together on the same team. They have the same goals that anybody else does, and they're just helping us win a national championship,' Eastman said. Those players are as follows: Diveli Cherry, Shelby Navarrete – Odessa High Mackenzei Bernal – Permian Jaycie Pacheco – Midland Legacy 'They're just not four locals, they're four starters, they're four impact players to this program, and you can't get that all the time out of a local community.' This season, Navarrete led the team in batting average at .525 and runs batted in with 83, and she was second on the team with 15 home runs. Navarrete was also named the Western Junior College Athletic Conference's most valuable player. Bernal is third on the team in batting average with a .423 and second in runs batted in with 68. Cherry is fifth on the team with a batting average of .330. OC looks to continue the success they've had with the local talent and bring back the first national championship back to Odessa since 1994. 'Being here in Odessa and being a local I think it means more to us because we're bringing it back to Odessa specifically so I think it's very huge for us to come out and win it all,' Navarrete said.
