Battle Ground grad Mandy Hill named to Portland State Athletics Hall of Fame

Battle Ground High School grad and softball standout Mandy Hill is now a hall of famer.

Portland State Athletics announce Tuesday that Hill is one of six former Vikings athletes who will enter the PSU Athletics Hall of Fame on Jan. 31, 2025.

Hill excelled on the mound and at the plate.

From 2005-08, she was the only four-time All-Pacific Coast Softball Conference selection and was chosen as PCSC Pitcher or Player of the Week eight times during her career.

At the plate, Hill completed her PSU career second all-time in home runs (31) and first in runs batted in (135). She hit a PSU single-season record 12 home runs in 2006 and had a .604 slugging percentage. Hill followed that with 11 home runs in 2007.

Hill tossed a no-hitter as a freshman, then went 24-7 as a sophomore and was named the PCSC Pitcher of the Year while leading the Vikings to their first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance. While a junior, Hill appeared in a record 49 games with 35 starts, 33 complete games and eight shutouts. She struck out 205 batters.

Hill completed her pitching career second all-time in wins (67), appearances (147) and innings pitched (815.1).

Details of the Hall of Fame ceremony will be released at a later date.
