Pitchers Kylie McNight, Samantha Johannes, Mari Bajan, and Shelby Hood all pitched outstanding games, each with several strikeouts. Jordan Nolan made a stellar double play at first base on a pop fly catch. Zoe Miller caught 2 great pop flys from shortstop and prevented critical runs from scoring. Catchers Hannah Matus, Faith Fletcher and Meghan DeVaughn each made some fantastic plays from behind the plate, and second basemen Grace Gunter and Julia Bullock each helped make several outs during the weekend. Overall, the team scored 33 runs in the 6 game series. Congratulations to the whole team for an outstanding weekend!
