Head Coach
Stephen McNett:
"After being out from games for nearly a month due to COVID & the weather, we struggled throwing strikes, fielding the ball on a real surface, and competing."
"When you're out of the game that long it's difficult to get a rhythm and fee for the game. It is something everyone is dealing with, we just need to figure out a way to get into it quickly."
