Gimme 5: Shepard's Neubauer Sees the Beauty of a Big Finish
Senior pitcher Devon Neubauer wants her team to go above and beyond so she can finish her softball career on a high note. Then, she plans to attend beauty school.
Shepard's Devon Neubauer has something to prove. She said she wants the Astros to exceed the expectations that people have for them, and she wants to end her softball career with a bang.

Neubauer first learned about softball and baseball when she was a toddler.
