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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ourselves quit shooting tough
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.
The only thing I could do was tell them that.
base deserve fence few left runners win wind
When you don't have a fence out there and the wind blowing, that's what happens. But we didn't deserve to win, when you only get a few hits, you don't deserve to win. We left too many runners on base to win this one.
best couple good overall since start
We had a couple of lapses today, but overall it was another pretty good day. The is the best start we've had since I've been here.
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.
gave giving taking time waiting
We were waiting to see what they were going to do, and this time they gave us the inside. We were just taking what they were giving us.
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.
