Coaches Comments:

We remain incredibly proud of our pitching and catching combinations. Together all four of our pitchers delivered an outstanding performance, and Addie held all runners with her hard work behind the plate. Watching Carly and Natalee share a perfect game was fun and exciting for the entire team. When Vestaburg made contact and put the ball in play, the team continued to be efficient and solid defensively. At the plate the girls stayed aggressive and it was fun to see two in the park home-runs from our 1 and 2 hitters, but then to continue to see multiple base hits continued down our lineup is the consistency we are looking to continue to build upon as the year progresses. Fantastic team wins tonight.

Coaches Comments:

Headed into tonight we prepped the team by concentrating on the small things that matter, and later those small things becoming big things. This week we worked on base running, communication, extra outs on defense, staying aggressive at the plate, and being selective in the pitches we want. As we faced off against a strong Laingsburg program, we knew the small things would matter. The girls took their practice to the game this week and ended the evening with 27 hits and some phenomenal defensive plays. We are extremely proud of the team as they defeated one of the strongest teams in our league and continue to look for ways to grow and improve. Together with Carly and Rylee pitching, Addie behind the plate- and a field full of solid def rice and offed rice players -we felt extremely strong. Next week we continue the rigor with PW and Saranac.
