Thoughts from Coach Welsh

"It was nice to get our season underway, but very unfortunate that we could score 15 runs in a doubleheader and not come away with a victory.  We need to tighten up our defense and pitching in order to put ourselves in every ball game.  I am looking forward to seeing how the girls bounce back tomorrow."
