Quotable:
""It's games like today's that make softball fun,"" remarked Wesleyan head coach Dickey Hightower. ""Val and Claire pitched really well and we got key hits when we needed them. We scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to win the first game and had a chance to do the same in the second game but fell one hit short. I was really pleased with the way we played today, and I hope we can keep it going tomorrow against LaGrange.""
