Cold, but happy.
The East Lyme Vikings are showing signs they will be one of those teams that will have to be reckoned with this spring when it comes to high school softball in the Eastern Connecticut Conference.
The Vikings, who dropped their first two games, have found their hitting stroke as evidenced by their 11-1 win in Montville on a chilly Friday afternoon.
Add to thata senior pitcher in Rachelle Fecteau who limited the Indians to one hit and an experienced coach and you have the makings of a contender.
"(East Lyme coach) Judy (Deeb) always has a well thought out program and kids who can do the job," Montville coach Allison Delaney said. "You can never count East Lyme out- goodness, no."
The nice thing for Deeb, it's also a team that she's having fun with.
The Vikings were all smiles on Friday afternoon, joking around with one another and their coach in the dugout as the game went along.
Of course, as Deeb pointed out, it's a lot easier to do that when you scored eight runs in the first two innings.
