COACH’S COMMENTS
“… Good week of ball to open our season. Pitchers threw well in our first two games, and the bats have been hot early. The adjustments hitters have made over the winter are starting to show by staying through contact and using our team speed to our advantage.”
“ Two good team wins early and looking to grab another as we travel to Greenup County today for our first away game.”
