TOP QUOTES
Glenn Moore on the game…
"We were in a hole quickly with the three solo home runs but were able to stabilize things when (Aliyah) Pritchett came in. She also cut the lead with her first career home run. However, we missed a couple of opportunities to add more. Their constant pressure finally led to the big inning that did us in. We are a work in progress, but even in a loss we get better."
