Around the Diamond with Taylor Curran

Welcome to the first installment of Around the Diamond.  Each week we’ll sit down with a local high school softball player and ask her a series of questions…some that relate to softball, some that don’t, and some that may even be slightly embarrassing.

Who better to begin with than Plainedge junior Taylor Curran, the starting catcher for the defending Class A Nassau county champions. In the league opener on Tuesday, she went 2-for-3, lining two singles off of one of the Island’s best pitchers in Alannah Basile of Island Trees. Curran is a dangerous hitter in the clean-up spot, she’s a master at framing pitches behind the plate, and as you’ll soon find out, she’s a pretty big fan of the Jonas Brothers.
