“We take it one game at a time, and build from one to the next learning from each, and just try to learn and grow as a team,” she added. “So proud to get the 12-2 win over Whitley in five innings. Let’s go Lady Redhounds.”

“The whole team is really seeing the ball well, and finding a way to get on and making timely hits, and coming together as a solid team top to bottom,” she added. “I am always proud of everyone of them and how they are all willing to step up and take on any role we need.”
