The Sandusky ladies are getting the team chemistry on track, using there voices to communicate on defense and there bats are doing the talking on offense. We know the road we have to travel to get where we need to be, and what we need to do to get there and playing as a team is our focus and being there for each other at all times. Our pitchers are trusting the defense to make the plays behind them, and hitting the spots to keep hitters off balance.
