“We got on the board, that’s what mattered,” McBain coach Chantel Zuiderveen said. We’re stayed positive. We made contact. That’s something we’re definitely working on for next year. Getting good solid hits is what we’ll be working on during the offseason. Pitch selection is huge. Evart has an aggressive hitting team and is good at pitch selection.
“I’m excited for next year. We’ll continue to grow.”
