Coaches Comments:

"After a long bus ride, I feared for us coming out slow to start the game but I thought we did a good job getting some early runs up on the board. This is college so you can't make any excuses. Our offense did a great job and some of our girls had huge days. They have been swinging the bats well in practice so it was nice to see it carry over to the game. Our pitchers threw the ball great for us once again. They are finally getting the run support that they weren't getting early in the season. We are now 9-7 in the region and hopefully can keep it going to make a push towards regionals (playoffs)."

Next game Twin Softball game is Tuesday away at Broome CC.
