Quotes by April Schermann

“The leadership they bring is so important. Michelle is a good hitter, and she has a little bit of power. Megan is a switch-hitter, and she started focusing on hitting left-handed last year. She can bunt, slap and hit for power. She has speed, and thats why shes on the left side.”

“Sarah has the most experience on the staff. Were really looking for her to share her experience with the younger pitchers and teach them.”

“She did a great job. She finished strong for us.”

“Our batters have a lot of confidence. It doesnt matter who the opposing pitcher is. They know theyre good hitters. Thats what got us ahead in the first inning. They werent intimidated.”
