"Honestly the confidence and the hype from the team, it was all pretty big. I just took that on to the mound and I did my thing," said Redmond.

"It was great. We knew if we could pitch well and get an early lead, that was going to be big," said North Andrew head coach Tim Miller. "Both teams were going to be really nervous coming in. We got the lead and settled in. I'm super proud of the performance of all the girls. Zoey pitched her heart out and did a great job. Offense did just enough and we cam away with a win."
