At a softball showcase in California, Brittany Hawn played multiple positions in the same game.

She said there was nothing flashy, no eye-popping moment, no bruising home run that she thought would stand out to the coaches and recruiters in attendance.

But to her surprise, all it took was that versatility on the field defensively that caught the eye of one Division I softball coach in particular.

Frank Griffin, who is now in his 20th season as the head coach at Stetson University in Florida, saw enough of the 5-foot-1 Castle High student to make a serious offer to Hawn that very day in California.

A full-ride scholarship to play collegiate softball at the highest level was presented to a shocked and stunned Hawn.

“I had no idea that was coming at all,” she said Tuesday. “All he said I needed to bring was a toothbrush and he kept his word.”

A 13-hour plane ride was not an issue at all for Hawn, who immediately jumped at the chance to get a free education.

The tough part wasn’t until she got to Stetson University, about an hour away from Orlando, when she realized she was about to play softball at a completely new level.

“The game is so much faster and quicker playing on the mainland and getting to the college level — everyone can run, lay down bunts. Half of the lineup are slappers and the game is so fast,” Hawn said.

Griffin, who ranks in the top 40 all-time among head coaches at the Division I level in wins, knew that.

It’s why he was looking for versatility more than anything else when he stumbled upon Hawn in California.

She played six games at shortstop as a freshman before he quickly moved her to third base.

Now, she’s become one of the top defensive players in the Atlantic Sun and last weekend surpassed the 200-game mark.

She’s started 195 games in a row at third base and has made only three errors this season. Twice she’s been the A-Sun preseason defensive player of the year pick and she has streaks of 22 and 36 games in her career without making an error. Her 437 assists are fourth all-time at the school and she’s also topped 100 runs scored and has more than 50 stolen bases in her career.

“The game is so fast and that’s what I like about (playing) the hot corner,” Hawn said. “My skills matched the position, the quickness of it and the aggressiveness it takes and I just felt like it really fit me when they put me there.”

Hawn played in an NCAA regional once, when the Hatters went to Gainesville, Fla., to face the top-seeded Florida Gators.

Stetson has qualified for the A-Sun tournament this season and is ranked second in the league after briefly holding the top spot.

“We’re young with eight freshmen and it’s definitely a building year, but we’re making strides and we’re turning it into a good year,” Hawn said.

Hawn has been steady once again defensively, committing just three errors for a .980 fielding percentage. She’s also stepped it up at the plate, hitting .260, her best batting average since freshman year.

She hit her first two triples this season and has two homers with a career-high 19 RBIs.

The Hatters (29-19, 8-6) play the final three home games of Hawn’s career this weekend against Jacksonville and then have one more game before the A-Sun tournament May 11-14.

That will take place four days after Hawn graduates on May 7.

“There’s a lot going on, for sure. Everything is happening at once,” Hawn said. “To be honest, I think I had my good run here and I will never forget this place at all. It will always have a piece of my heart, but I’m excited to see what life has to offer and I think I’m ready to see what else I’m capable of in this lifetime.”
