COACH’S COMMENTS…
“… Against Harlan Co. Dani Crum, Abby Nelson and Allie Triplett really hit the ball really well they had 10 hits combined and you don’t see that very often. Taylor Blevins has been pitching her best ball for me these last few games it was a nice win.”
“… Against Lynn Camp once again hitting was the key. 14 hits and we played clean. Allie Triplett threw a heck of a game and we stayed locked in.”
“… Against Marian Catholic, What a mess! They were the best team we have faced this season. They hit, could sling the leather and brought it up there in the mid 60’s. We couldn’t catch it in a dip net! Lost 4-2 and they had no earned runs. We gotta be better than that if we want to reach our goals. It’s good to get hit in the mouth every now and then.”
