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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
break capable open until
We had so many opportunities and we just didn't break it open like we're capable of doing until the seventh.
ask
Like I said, you can't ask for anything more than that.
advantage against chances good scary team
We had our chances and that's scary against a good team if you don't take advantage of those opportunities. You usually don't get very many.
effort four good kids pleased
I was pleased with the kids effort tonight. We were good defensively all four quarters, which is what we need.
ask ball behind calming change couple fell few girls great job looked moved nice strikes talking threw
She threw a great game. She moved the ball around very well and got her change up over for strikes a couple of times. She really looked comfortable out there. The girls behind her did a real nice job of talking and calming her down. There were a few times when she fell behind hitters, but she battled back and got the job done. You really can't ask for anything more than what she did today.
ball freshman hitting knows locate moving pitcher playing spots
She's a strikeout pitcher and knows how to locate her pitches. She's not playing like a freshman right now, she's hitting her spots and moving the ball around.
everybody great holding needed position post
She's been doing a great job. I can't say enough for her holding that post position down with everybody out. That's what we've needed her to do and that's what she's done.
