We have improved so much in the last month that we look like a completely different team. Lead by another great pitching outing by Wood, we played well defensively, and continued our approach at the plate of putting a lot of balls in play, forcing the opposing team to make plays. With very similar pitchers, it comes down to whichever team plays the best defense wins, and last night, that was Bolivar. - Kyle Hedges

This group is playing very well right now. We have won 17 consecutive games and the expectations for this team continue to grow. Our focus is on identifying mistakes, making corrections, playing the game, and having fun. Player development is the key to this team. Our girls respond well to instruction and continue to make progress. I am very proud of their hustle and defense; tonight we recorded a double play, our 3rd of the season. These girls are proud of their defense and it shows. Nathan Rothdiener
