COACH’S COMMENTS
“… It’s been a good week. We have faced the top 2 strikeout pitchers in the state this week and manage to come away with wins in both games. We have worked really hard this season and we are starting to hit like I know we can. Pitching has been really good this week and we have slung the leather as good as we have the sticks. Have you ever thought you were Gods favorite? I feel that way right now!”
