This was our Super Bowl and the girls responded very well. And it was good that we made some key free throws down the stretch.

This was big. To lose seven kids from last year, and have a bunch of sophomores step in and play. That's outstanding. I can't say enough about the effort.

Sometimes you got to take advantage of what they give you. They gave us some wild pitches and let our runners advance.
bad cost
I told him that it was a bad call. But it didn't cost us the game.
bad behind defense good meant
We started off kind of bad and we didn't play good defense behind Wes. I thought when we had it at 6-6 we had it under control, and it just wasn't meant to be today.

We knew that we had to do it and it was going to be tough on us. We stepped up and played hard.
corners good pitchers throwing
We don't have a lot of walks. We're throwing a lot of strikes, and working the corners real well. Our pitchers are doing a good job.
aggressive plate taught
We didn't play real well in that first game. It wasn't really bad, but we just weren't very aggressive at the plate like they've been taught to be.
backing good job keeping pitchers playing pressure putting
We're playing good defensively in backing up our pitchers. Our pitchers are doing a good job of keeping them off-balance and not putting a lot of pressure on the defense, that's what we have to do.
ball carries hitting hope
We've been hitting the ball well. I just hope that it carries over for us.
four hard top
Our top four hitters, if they don't get going, it's hard for us to get going as a team. When they get going for us, we play well, and when they struggle, we struggle.
