Correct answer: "It wasn’t the angle Joelle was used to, but it came in at the height she liked."
Why: This sentence shows Joelle knows the pitch angles and the height she prefers — evidence she has experience batting. The other choices are either neutral (deep breath), describe others (girls ran toward it), or note an unfamiliar bat (which weakens the idea of experience).
