COACH’S COMMENTS
“…The girls had done a good job of putting the ball in play all tournament long, with some big hits in key situations. They were smart on the bases. We struggled a little bit in the middle of the championship game to put anything together, but our girls fought hard and pulled it together to finish strong, scoring 8 runs in the last 2 innings.”
I am so proud of the young ladies and their coaches. Congratulations.
Way to go…great job!
