“We played our best ball of the season today,” said Head Coach Chuck Wimberly. “We came ready to play and it showed with our pitching, fielding, and hitting. I am just so proud of the way we battled in game one to get the victory and came out in game two and completely had our best day at the plate as a team for the entire season hitting the ball.”
