Coach Robertson stated "This was a great set of victories for us. You never know how your team will react after a 3 hr bus ride let alone not playing a game for 2 weeks since returning from Myrtle Beach. As we have had multiple games either canceled or postponed. But we reacted in the manor I hoped they would. This team has really come together for a collected goal and its showing. Scott is pitching lights out right now. She is healthy and confident in the circle and at the plate while McNamara just gets better and better with every start. She is building more and more confidence in herself while knowing the coaching staff and her teammates have her back every time she stops into the circle. Finally nice to see the bats come alive especially Emily Wormwood who is getting back to form after a nasty broken wrist kept her out all fall, she hit her first home run while having a 5 RBI day."
