For the weekend RV Power played hard. Coach Jen Ott was impressed with how well her girls played and swung over all. Some areas to work on, but all in all a pretty good weekend. Girls built some confidence in their batting abilities and the level of softball they are capable of playing. Can't wait till we return to the field May 9th in Rocky Mount.
