Cheek's Thoughts
“We are fortunate to have these games against a good ball club,” Humboldt State head softball coach Frank Cheek. “This is the perfect time for these games. (WOU)'s pitching staff has a high ERA which should help us out.” … “I am happy that we were able to hit the ball hard this past weekend. From here on out we have to outhit our opponents, which has been our goal all season. (Nichole) Parada pitched well this past weekend as well.” … “I believe that the mistakes that we have made have been corrected. I also believe that we will peak this week against Western Oregon.” … “It'll be nice to have this weekend off from competition. We will scrimmage on Saturday so we can work on our defense staying sharp.”
