Coaches Comments: “We’ve progressively gotten better over the last three weeks and now that we’ve entered league play, we feel that the foundation we’ve built has led to some success. Our appearances at the plate were methodic and aggressive; while our defense improved communication and mental aspects of the game. Bath is a solid team that made us work for every run we scored, and every out we made. We plan to continue our progression through the season and look forward to the week we have ahead. This week we travel to East Lansing on Tuesday and host Laingsburg on Thursday.”
