Coach’s comments: “We lost five seniors, but we have experience with multiple-year starters back. Daugherty leads by example; she is so determined that she ran into the outfield fence chasing a fly ball last year. We don’t have big home run hitters so we’re going to look for line drives and play as much small ball as possible. We have been dominant on the pitcher’s mound for years, but we need to find some relief for our two pitchers. We’re looking at three players who have never pitched. We’ll probably face 10 top 20 teams this year. By the time we hit the sectional we better have it figured out.”
