Marshall softball’s focus is really cleaning up the defensive miscues and the precision of the pitchers, first-year head Coach Megan Smith said in an interview on Wednesday as the Thundering Herd prepares for the Battle At The Beach.
“I think our pitchers performed well,” Smith said. “(We) just gave up too many free passes and too many walks, so we are really looking in on preventing that and our defense being sharper. That is the part of the game we struggled with the most. So, our focus is just cleaning it up on defense.”
The Thundering Herd women’s softball team had its opening weekend this past Friday in San Diego, where it won four of the five games scheduled.
