COACH ALLEN SAID…
"Overall, I'm proud of the girls today. The first game we struggled with our hitting but came around at the end to come back and win and then hit good the second game. Our pitchers pitched really well today also. We are battling some injuries on the team so I had to put some people in positions they weren't used to playing, but everyone stepped up and played the best they could have at those positions."
