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.
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.
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.
capable changes fine good job point running second
I think Eryn did a good job in the second half. We'll be just fine once we get used to the changes we have to make. Eryn is capable of running the point and will do a good job for us.
