001It's It's going to It's going to be tough sledding the rest of the way, but I think the one thing that these these team needs to remember is their future is incredibly bright for this program, no matter what happens in the state tournament. Obviously, we'd love to see them try and make a run, but the turnaround has been sensational. They are a really young team. They have been powered by uh their young players. When you think about uh what they have done so far this year, uh Bella Domestico, a freshman, uh led the way the entire way for the pitching staff. Unfortunately, she's out right now, could potentially miss the postseason play. Even Dedi leading the team in RBIs, she's a freshman. Uh Laura Lyclette, you can't say enough about her. She's clearly our our
002player of the game today. She's the offensive player of the game and the defensive player of the game with with her with her assists over there at third base. She is only a sophomore. Nikki Eustace probably up over 600 average right now. She is only a sophomore. Haley Butman, I think he pitched him with three hits today. She is only a sophomore. She's starting at second base. Then you've got, you know, Caroline Kyra, who's had a great season uh hitting the ball. She's a junior. Ruby Casady had a ton of power. Uh she's had a good season at the plate. She's hitting well over 300. She's only a junior. This This team is is ripe for the future. Uh no matter what happens in this tournament, I'm excited to see what happens. >> Yeah, it
003seems like it's they're just breaking the surface of some of the potential with these players. And it like you said, it's the first year for Coach Sasso, and already, you know, a huge huge uh I guess you could say surprise considering the way they've played the last, you know, what, 13 years, 14 years. So, it's it's huge to go 15 and five. And even if you do, you know, not make it out of the postseason or make it in the postseason very far, I still think that this season is certainly a win going 15 and five and and making the state tournament, that's a win in itself. >> Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely it is.
