Harper Elvy Beats Out An Infield Single
“The girls really came to play today. We played excellent defense and I like the way we swung the bats, even the outs we made were productive. Now we move on to play #1 ranked Chatham. They are very good and I believe their pitcher has already committed to DI Binghamton. We are going to have our hands full but I think as a team we all like the challenge. All the pressure is on them, they are the reigning state champions. I like this groups of girls though. Lets just play the game and see what happens.” from Coach Mike Wentworth
