COACH’S COMMENT
“… Little bit different pitching than we saw at the Beach, out on our front foot a lot but the second time through we got some nice swings. We adjusted well later in the game. Our team has swung the bat well all season long.”
“…Amber Triplett had a nice game defensively and she needed to and so did we. Another District game Thursday vs Pike Co. Central and we need to be ready to play.”
Bulldog Junior Ciana Bowen
“… Pitching was a little slower tonight and we had to just get our timing back. Once we did that we hit some balls really hard and put some runs on the board. Keyarah and Abby just missed home runs. The double down the line was key and then the girls behind me drove us in.” This might be the best hitting team since I have been playing.”
