Early in the season, Arizona pitcher Alyssa Denham said that things were different this year from the very start. From the time the team came back together in the fall, they were closer than last year.
Whether it’s Peanut Martinez referring to the team as “like sisters” or coach Mike Candrea talking about how the players genuinely like each other, attitude and bonds have been a topic of conversation for everyone.
The entire team has talked about chemistry being the biggest difference. However, Candrea believes that the changes are not only because the players genuinely like each other, but also due to their character and leadership.
