Four years a college letterer, Elizabeth Gonzalez (BA ’14) is Hope International University’s career leader in pitching appearances, innings pitched and wins. She ranks second in strikeouts, and remains the only Royals pitcher since the turn of the century to receive first-team All-Golden State Athletic Conference laurels. But her legacy extends far beyond Hope’s record book.
