Morris additionally collected a team-best 10 multi-RBI and 15 multi-hit games, including five outings with four or more RBI.
Prior to collegiate softball, Morris helped Thomas Sumter Academy to a pair of SCISA state championships while earning multiple SCISA Class AAA Player of the Year honors. She hit nearly 50 home runs and posted a .500 batting average or better all four years of her high school career.
