QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"It's a good start to the series for us," head coach Megan T. Bryant said. "I thought Mia threw a great game today, she worked real well with Emily [Reinstein] behind the plate to make some adjustments and finish the shutout. Defense was good; we had one good offensive inning, I thought we could have been a little more productive. We'll look to improve upon that tomorrow."
