challenged future leads sure team
I've challenged the team to make sure in the future when we have leads that we don't let another team back in the game.
against days good matched morning national nice seven sign six team top trains
That was nice to see how we matched up against a top national team that trains from seven in the morning to 11 at night, six days a week. For us to play the way we did is a good sign of how things are going.
ashamed battle gave incredible teams
We have nothing to be ashamed of. That was an incredible battle between two teams who didn't want to go home, and we gave it everything we had.
bring definitely difference game ranked teams
We've definitely got to bring our 'A' game this weekend. There's not much difference in the teams we're going to play from here on out. Most of them are ranked in the top-10.
seasons teams
We are disappointed. It was just two teams that didn't want their seasons to end, and I think that's why it went on for so long.
entire errors four goal good hoping practice softball team three week
Our team is way too good to be having two or three errors in a game. We should have just three or four for an entire tournament. Our goal is always to play errorless softball and I'm hoping that the things we did this week in practice will make that happen.
against best decided facing kelly match pitcher start success team trying type
Kelly just had more success against Arizona. I was trying to match up the best pitcher against the type of team that we were facing that day, so I decided to start Kelly.
against capable expect huge lauren performance pitcher pitchers team throwing
Lauren really showed us glimpses of the pitcher that she can be. If we can expect this kind of performance from now on, it would be huge to know that we have two pitchers capable of throwing against any team in the country.
against capable consistent eventually faced innings pitchers point seven team teams throwing tremendous
If she can be consistent and eventually get to the point where she can go seven innings if need be, it would be tremendous to have two pitchers capable of throwing against any team in the country. There aren't many teams better than the one she faced (last weekend).
ask capitalize found job needed opportunity team
You couldn't ask for a better scenario. That's what we told the team today, that we needed to capitalize on every opportunity and we just found a way to get the job done.
effort focused games stay talked week whatever
We should have been out of there in five. We just weren't focused and I was disappointed by the effort. We talked about how important it was to stay focused for games during the week and we just didn't get that kind of effort for whatever reason.
four games
We need (Lauren) going down the stretch, especially with the four games this weekend.
coach home player seen three
Three home runs. I've never seen that as a coach or player in my career.
aggressive came felt occasions offense pitches putting swinging
I felt like we came out much more aggressive than we have been at the plate. We were swinging at first pitches in occasions and I thought our offense really started putting it together.
