I would say that the ladies are starting to hit their stride as well.

It seems that our ladies are making 1 or 2 errors each game.  I would like to see that drop to 1 or 2 every few games instead.  That may  not be accurate though, just the way it seems to me...

Errors are never good and can lead to big innings but we are not as bad as you think. We have made 22 errors in 24 games. Less than one per game is pretty good in softball with short base paths and hurried throws.

I am more concerned about walks. We have walked 118 batters. That is almost 5 per game. Our pitching in general is a concern. Traina is not the dominate pitcher she was her sophomore year. We can out score most teams but without better pitching we will struggle with the elite teams.
