Thoughts from Coach Gutierrez
"After three one run losses we finally figured out our offense and got dialed in with our pitchers. Without much of a fall, we are forced to figure each other out on the fly and I think we are close. We have definitely learned a lot about each other these past couple weekends and one thing we know is that we always have fun always come to play! We have got plenty of season ahead and it is a great group to be with in the fire."
