What are the upper classmen saying about Teaghan's transition to the Farm so far?
"Teaghan is a girl you're glad is on your team instead of your opponents' team. She plays the game the way it is supposed to be played, showing passion and effort in everything she does. Her "go-get-it" mentality is something that is contagious throughout the team and has had a real positive impact thus far." - Arden Pettit, junior catcher/infielder.
