Torina’s Thoughts
On the team’s approach at plate…
“I liked our offensive approach. I thought we hit some balls hard that just did not fall in. It was just one of those days where you do everything right but you don’t walk away with a win.”
On Gorsuch keeping ULL off balance…
“They had one big inning against her. I wish we could have stopped it from snowballing into what it turned into but other than that I thought she did a very nice job.”
On what this matchup means for both teams…
“I think it is great for the state of Louisiana but I will be happy to be in Tiger Park tomorrow.”

The Tigers finish the weekend at home on Sunday taking on North Dakota at 12:30 p.m. and matching up again with ULL at 3 p.m. These games can be streamed on SEC Network+ and WatchESPN.
