Coachs thoughts. “The girls came to play tonight. We were patient at the plate and hit the ball solid throughout the batting order. Our defense played well. Northfield put the ball in play and we handled it well. We only had 4 outs via strikout and 9 outs made by the fielders which is good. Great way for us to start conference play.”
