Leaving a trademark cloud of dust in her wake, Roadrunner first blazed the basepaths for Sea Kittens in Fall 2016 after playing several seasons with Bottomfeeders. Not a power hitter but blessed with both a knack for shooting base hits to center field and beating out infield hits, Hauer creates turmoil for opposing defenses with her game-changing speed. In her first full-time action with sea Kittens in Fall, 2017, Roadrunner scored 6 runs in 7 games, tied for tops among Sea kitten women during the season, and also notched her first career double. The activity, however, often has Hauer wishing she had eaten before the game instead of thinking she could wait until after.

Versatile defensively, the Roadrunner has moved between catcher, outfield, and second base in her career, and has become a solid option at the keystone.
You can add her to the list of players who find mosquitoes to be the most annoying thing on the softball diamond.

After a breakout 2018 season, Roadrunner found opposing defenses squeezing center field and stealing hits. She adjusted as the 2019 season progressed, and developed the ability to shoot the ball to right field- a particularly dangerous skill for a player with her speed to deploy.
