We had some opportunities early to get out on top but our bats went dead and we just couldn’t come up with key hits to keep us in the game. Just disappointed that we did not play with more enthusiasm in the 2nd game. We have definitely seen a pattern early in the season where we play one pretty good game and then come out flat and just don’t compete in the other game!

Overall record: 3-4
Conf. Record: 1-1
