Hinkle, an outfielder during the program's infancy, was named All-Southern Conference in 1995, when the Herd was SoCon Tournament Champions and is one of just five players named All-Southern Conference four times in league history. She is Marshall's all-time leader in at-bats (743), sixth in runs scored (137), seventh in hits (231), ninth in stolen bases (70). She played in 218 games and held a career batting average (.311). Hinkle went a perfect 16-for-16 in stolen bases as a freshman and was successful in 19 of 21 attempts as a sophomore. Her 224 at-bats as a junior and 227 as a senior are the top two career marks in school history, while her 69 hits as a junior are fourth-most. As a junior, she helped lead the program to its first winning record (39-23). Hinkle holds the mark for the toughest to strikeout in team history at just 44 times in 743 at bats.
