But not a lot more than Kristin Jacobs did for hers. Kristin Jacobs is the older sister of Portland Slate softball player Karin Jacobs. The two did a lot of things together grow­ ing up. as most sisters do. But none might have been more important than playing on the same team together. Kristin was an All-American pitcher for the Vikings. It was because of her that younger sister Karin decided to leave Taft Junior College, where she played softball and volleyball, and become the third base- man for Portland State. “I was just getting really homesick and not really liking it down there by then,” Karin Jacobs said of her second year at Taft. “And I had been talking to my sister and I had already talked to [head coach] Teri [Mariani] coming there my junior year, and I mentioned to Kristin how unhappy I was and she talked to Teri and Teri needed a third baseman and wanted me to come down and try out. “So she said if I wanted to leave Taft in December and start at Portland State in January, I could. And that’s what I did.” So she arrived at Portland State and made the team. Playing alongside her sister was an experience that nothing could top in 1991. A sense of comfort and confidence
