We have had good growth things and the pitchers are coming on. Our defense is solid and that has kept us in a lot of ball games. We don't score a lot of runs, but we are near the top of the conference in terms of batting average with runners on base. Pitching will again be the key in the conference race and each week there should be some strong matchups. But junior Crystal Draper and freshman Monica Hoffman have pitched well this year.
Draper owns one of the perfect games.
Playing in so many tournaments should also have the team ready to go. We have done a great job this year of trying to get a lot of quality innings in at the tournaments. Sometimes I think we have lost some of our focus because we have tried to play too many innings. Hopefully, that is going to pay off for us. It will be a little different.
