Koschke Comments
"The team played well today. We had some errors in the first game that they took advantage of, but we were able to make the adjustments we needed and played a solid defensive second game." said Pack Head Coach Christie Koschke. "Oakleigh threw well and did her job. She kept the hitters off balance and the defense again played well behind her."

"Offensively our hitting started to come together and we were aggressive at the plate. They were tough outs and truly competed."
