But I wasn't getting in my pace, staying within myself, I was getting a little rushed. So I think I finally took a couple deep breaths and let myself get my timing back.
The athletes are still out competing the same as a Division I team, and I think we've done a good job of creating an atmosphere where they're responsible for their actions and their play.
I think we mixed a lot more curveballs than normal because they were either going after my drop or laying off of it and that's normally my go-to (pitch).
It's fun. It's fun to be able to come out and see the kids smile and see them get excited.
It's pretty hot and humid out here but we all fought through. Our defense made great plays and I feel like I pitched pretty well. I was really trying to make the ball move and force groundouts and pop outs.
It was hard once it got closer, and we tried to not think about it. But I knew it was coming, and I'm glad I got it.
I'm really excited for this opportunity to try broadcasting. I'm a little nervous, but it's something I'm interested in down the line after my college days, so I am glad to get a shot at it now. This should be an exciting weekend to showcase pro softball and show the nation how exciting our sport is.
The biggest thing is no matter what level I've played at, there is something I can bring to them.
And they know I didn't hold expectations for them like I do for myself. But I also tell them I'm not going to lower the expectations I do have for them because we're playing Division II.
We had to adjust and threw a few more rise balls and curves but it worked.
That's what I would do if I were facing me. They made me throw a lot of pitches.
Megan has the loudest laugh the in the world. You can hear her from a mile away with that laugh. Megan and Desiree have the loudest laughs on the team.
When I came back to reality I called my dad and said, 'You won't believe it. We're going to New York.'
I got this random CD in the mail -- some guy wrote a song about me,
