Coaches Notes

"A doubleheader against Vanguard this past Friday had a lot of opportunities and play time by the team.
 
Both games were very close and a battle from both sides. We were fortunate to come out on top and execute opportunities when they were given.
 
Our second game was a little bit of a nailbiter when we had to go onto the top of the eighth, but I was confident with our team, was swinging their bats that day that they would make it happen.
 
We had some really great opportunities, but one other that really stood out to us was Sierra Danna or Freshmen pitcher. Who pitched the entire first game did great job, keeping vanguard on their toes only allowing one solid hit against her in game 1.
 
Emily was having a little bit of a hard time finding the zone, Sarah came up to the coach and stuff and said that she was mentally and physically ready to go in and check Vanguard down again and she did just that. And see a Freshmen with such confidence in herself and in her defense was a great blessing for us coaches.
