Misty Starr Hall (born July 14, 1988) is a Catcher/Shortstop for the Virginia Tech Hokies softball team. Born in Rockingham County, Virginia, she is a sophomore at Virginia Tech majoring in sociology. She graduated from Turner Ashby High School where she played volleyball, indoor track and softball. She garnered attention at Turner Ashby High School for her home runs[1] where she set a new school and state record for home runs in a season and career (35).

She played for one year at Louisburg College before joining the Hokies. There she was named first-team all-region. She helped lead her squad to the 2006–2007 Region X Championship and the 2006–2007 District J Championship. While at Louisburg College, she hit .496, recorded 67 hits, eight home runs and 42 RBI.

At Virginia Tech, Misty has been very successful. Currently, she leads the Hokies in home runs (7) and RBI (38).[3]

In December 2008, it was announced that Misty would not be returning for the 2009 season due to violation of university policy.[4] It is not known why Misty was suspended and neither her nor her coach care to discuss it.[5] It was confirmed in the summer of 2009 that Hall was reinstated into Virginia Tech and will continue her softball career with the Hokies in the spring of 2010.
