SENIOR’S COMMENTS

“… It was a good win for our team and it puts us in 1st place in the district. All of my pitches were working and everyone did a great job at being disciplined at the plate. We hit the ball hard and Emily Burke put one at the top of the fence.”

“… Next week we play two big region games and two district games. Should be fun.”
