Ouch we just have to get better pitchers (I know our top 2 are out from injuries. Although while typing this the thought also came we only scored on them in game 2. Can't win if u can't score.

Softball swept the Beavers!

"Good pitching beats good hitting", but when you have both good pitching and good hitting............look out!

 

Beavers will probably be ranked #1 in the nation tomorrow.

[Charles Fischer]
