Quotable
Scott on her afternoon and Towson's effort
"Honestly, I just had an approach that I was going to swing at good strikes early in the count and put good swings on the ball. We are one amazing team. We can hang with anyone. The dugout was awesome and everyone was pumped. We're a really good team and we're a force to be reckoned with. We're a good team and we know what we need to do the rest of the season."
