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.
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.
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.
expect good injuries kids run stuck
These kids have been through a lot between the injuries and the disciplinary actions. But they've stuck together. I expect them to make a good run in the postseason.
good hard help pitchers runs score start worked
This is a good start for us. We've worked really hard on hitting. We've got to be able to score some runs to help our pitchers out. We did that today.
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.
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.
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.
