She also runs her own travel program—the Middletown-based CT Monarchs—and she is a mom of three, including two softball-playing daughters. We also added a second segment, a Mother's Day round table if you will, featuring Colleen Hernandez (her daughter Natalia is a 12U travel player); Allison Cunningham (her daughter Mia is a junior shortstop at Seymour High); and Beth Pearsall-Palmer (her daughter Cat is wrapping up her career at Wesleyan). The three share stories, concerns and advice of being a softball mom at all three levels.
