Coaches Comments:

"We picked up two very solid wins today against a strong opponent. Jaime and Shannon threw the ball great today keeping hitters off balance.  Our offense stayed strong and executed some small ball which led to both victories.  We had some very timely fielding today which we haven't seen much of this season. I think the ladies are getting more confident out there which is leading to the success.  We have some injuries that we are going through but hopefully we can get healthy soon with a tough stretch of games coming up. We are 3-1 in the region right now so that's all that matters. We face a tough Hudson Valley team next who is talented and well coached. We look forward to the matchup."
