"I had all the trust on the planet," Galownia said. "We have been discussing the way that she jumps at the chance to raise a ruckus around town ball and how she wants to quit hitting those and utilize her speed to get on base.

Smart wasn't as quiet, yet she adopted a basic strategy to the plate. She didn't come down on herself to tear a line drive to the outfield or impact a homer. It was essentially as basic as putting the bat ready and utilizing her legs.
"Raise a ruckus around town," Clever said. "Just hit the ball, toss my hands at it and see what works out.
