Coaches Corner
"What a great bounce back from a tough one run loss last night. The team came out with great energy and determination. Our pitchers Lia and Taylor used the zone really well with Taylor and Bay calling great games.  I loved the run support on the day as we executed well at the plate and scored in most of our offensive opportunities, stringing together multiple tallies in several innings. I like the progress I'm seeing on both sides of the ball. We get a much needed day off for Easter and we will see Curry again on Wednesday for another conference doubleheader." –Joyce Maudie
