Quote | Head Coach Jim Walker
On saturday's games and stringing together more runs…
"We played pretty well today- going on the road and splitting with a future RSC opponent should give us confidence as the season progresses. Summer and Josie have both been pitching really well and we made a couple of changes to our defense that paid dividends today. Zoie Penn really stepped in and played a good 3rd base for us today. We have to find a way to be better on offense and string more quality at-bats together. It seems like we go through stretched where we don't have a good approach or the right mindset when we get into the box."
