"We hit the ball a lot better," said coach Scott Brown of both games. "We pitched well and played some sound defense. Overall we just played well. We're still a way from where we need to be, but we're getting better each game. If the pitching holds up we should be in good shape by tournament time. We're tied for first on our side of the conference. We've just got to keep playing well. There's no one we can't beat."
