We have so much power throughout our line-up. Each player one through nine and we don’t take no disrepect on this field,” Brown said. “When you walk up on one of one us, there is danger. Our line-up is set up that for a reason.
Once we get that first one, it just sets the whole pace for the game up,” Needham said. “OK if one can it then we all can do it.
It definitely starts with our pregame. Everyone has so much fun,” Lewis said. “It gets us all going and translates into the game. We want to start with the high energy and keep it going as it moves on.”
When we have the right approach, it’s really potent, head coach John Nelson said. “They’re really good at getting behind runner. They’re good contact hitters. If they get a pitch to hit, they can really drive the ball. It’s pretty special. “
