San d y ’s defense is good and the batting has im proved noticably this season. The good thing about softball is that it doesn t strain the arm as much as in . baseball. A pitcher can hurl back-to-back ! games without blinking an eye in softball, so one pitcher can usually ca rry a team. The one exception may be tournament play. But again, inconsistency has hurt Sandy’s softball players. They’ve lost a few games they should have won, including a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Canby Cougars, a game the Pioneers could easily have won. Both SUHS teams appear to have turned the corner afte r lackluster, and th a t’s putting it kindly, seasons last year.

The coaches chose to play the frosh on their respective underclassmen teams and there are times this season they may have r e g r e t ted that decision.
