Profile: Stacey Porter

The right-handed slugger played college ball in the U.S. and made Olympic history in 2004.

Porter made her Olympic debut in Athens in 2004, hitting .250 (7-for-28) with two home runs and a team-leading six RBIs for the silver medal-winning Australian squad. She was also a member of the bronze medal-winning Australian team at the 2006 World Championship, hitting .364 (8-for-22) with team highs of eight runs and three home runs to go with five RBIs.

Porter, who played club field hockey while she was growing up, comes from an Aboriginal family. In 2004, she became the first indigenous Australian to play softball for the country at the Olympics.

Porter played three seasons at the University of Hawaii, where as a junior in 2003, she was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year and a First Team All-American. That year, she hit a WAC-leading .479, broke Hawaii single-season records in batting average (.479), doubles (18), home runs (17) and walks (38). She finished the season as the school's all-time leader in home runs, with 38.
