game kids proud somehow
I'm so proud of the kids for their effort. They didn't quit. I told them that the game wasn't over, that we just had to go out and do it. And somehow they did.
everybody game girls hit later position pushing runners scoring timely
We got some timely hitting. Everybody that got a hit later in the game did it with someone on base. We have to keep pushing with those runners in scoring position and the girls did that today.
boards credit game good great played quit shots
Credit Tammy and those Alton kids. They played a great game and had a great game plan. We had some good shots and couldn't get them to go down tonight, but we didn't quit and Anya on the boards was huge.
bad game gap pulled shots staying
Defensively, we are staying in the game. We had the one bad game where they pulled two gap shots on us and got two runs.

You're going to have tough shooting nights. But we didn't quit and we got ourselves back in the game and had a chance.
defense game hopefully nice pleased rough settled threw
She had a rough first inning. Hopefully that was just the first game jitters. She settled in after that and threw a real nice game. I was pleased with that and with our defense overall.
basketball best credit game goes good tonight
They're a very good basketball team. We didn't play our best game tonight and they did. So the credit goes to them.
carried carry picked shooting struggled teammates time tonight
Everybody's carried Kara for a while, so it was time for her to carry us. There have been game's when she struggled with her shooting and her teammates picked her up. Tonight she picked all of us up.
break hands saying
Everybody's been saying how we got a break going north. Well, if that's a break, it's the first one we've had all year. But I don't necessarily think it's a break. We're going to have our hands full.
bats gets hit picked seems
The bats have picked up. It seems like one hit gets them started and then they just keep it going.
explode nervous nice run top
It was nice getting a run early. But I was still nervous with two outs in the top of the seventh, they can explode at any time.
ball changed great kept moved threw
Syd was great today. She moved the ball around, she changed speeds, she kept them off-balance and threw a great game.
early great settled sharp threw
Syd threw another great game. She was not sharp early on and they got a run, but she settled in after that and tossed a great game.
kids quit stuck
The kids stuck to it and didn't quit on me. That's the most important part.
