St. Francis senior Mel Baccay signed a National
Letter-of-Intent to play softball at Michigan State on Wednesday.
“They have a family aspect to the program,” said Baccay.
“I’ve built a really strong relationship not only with the girls on the team
but with my coaches.”
Baccay, a resident of Elk Grove, will play for Jacquie
Joseph, who has led the Spartan program since 1994 and amassed over 700 career
wins and made four NCAA regional appearances.

“I was looking for schools that met both my academics and
athletics needs,” Baccay said. “Michigan State being part of the Big10 has
great athletics with the resources to be successful academically.”
Baccay was named to the All-Delta League first team as a
junior and was the team’s Most Inspirational Player. She hit .571 in league
play (4th-best) and posted a .447 overall mark for the season with a team-best
tying 30 RBI.
She verbally committed to Michigan State during her
sophomore year at St. Francis.
“I am so excited to sign,” said Baccay. “It has been so
long. First there was the wait to get recruited and make a commitment, finding
a school that is eight for me. Now that I have found it, making it official
will make all the hard work worth it.”
