After the game, an a very happy Asst. Coach Susan Dirnberger told the blog, "Great win for the Lady Eagles. Hitting was on today. Laying down the bunt was on today also - we moved the runners over and even beat out a few bunts. The team looked right on today, very focused and did not let down when Leopold had runners on base. We made the key plays and Kenzie pitched her "A" game. Hopefully, we can carry this state of playing into the final two weeks of the season and in the districts. We are back!"
Oran improved to 4-3 overall and 3-1 in the district.
