Different batting techniques were used try- ing to strengthen players. In the long run it helped, but remained more of a learning experience. The team performed well amongst each other prov- ing themselves to be a real team. Everyone respected every play, pitch, or steal another made which contri- buted to a unique team spirit worth living up to.
