“It is great to get the win,” said West Lincoln coach Andrew Redd. “We struggled to hit the ball like we normally do at first, but the girls continued to battle and our bats managed to heat up as the game progressed. Overall, I was pleased with my girls’ efforts, but we still have some things that we need to work on to get better.”
