Quick hits:
-- Taylor Butler's two-run homer in the first inning of the opener provided all the runs star Tiffany Howard needed. But senior center fielder Sierra Newman's game ending-double play may have been the play of the series.

-- The Lady Redskins wins gave them 100 over the pat four seasons.
-- "Amazing, these girls are just amazing," Coach Al Butler, immediately after the game.
