I was extremely pleased with Ciera Martinez (JR/San Antonio, Texas) and Kelly Anne Salinas (FR/Laredo, Texas) on the mound as both battled some very talented hitters and gained some valuable experience. Our baserunning and offense was also tested and experience some success against well-established programs."
