begin focus key next weeks
These next two weeks are key if we want to get into the (MAC) tournament. We need to begin that focus this weekend.
ahead continue earn effective free order pitching
In order for us to be effective as a pitching staff, we have to get ahead in the count. We have to make them earn their way to the base. We can't continue to give out free passes.
although confidence five games job move playing record start time worried
It's very important that we make a move now. We have to start playing better, although I feel our record would be a lot better if we had got to play all of our games (of which five have been cancelled). We're worried about one game at a time and we just have to have confidence that we can get the job done.
adversity behind came great win
It was great that we came from behind and had some adversity. It was a big win for us.
came compete game good inches played rest shape
It was a game of inches and they got the inches. We came away with two losses, but we played really well. If we can compete like this then we'll be in good shape the rest of the season.
bowling conference games good green home return
It's all about Bowling Green and Toledo this weekend. It's important that we return home in a good position. These Mid-American Conference games are very crucial.
defense depends everybody figure issues trying
It's been a combination of issues for us. A lot of it depends on how we do in the circle, but we also have to play defense and hit. I really don't like (losing) because it's frustrating. But I do think everybody is trying to figure it out.
game performs pitching reflected staff successful team
Successful pitching is reflected in the won-loss column. If our pitching staff performs well, our team as a whole will do well. Pitching is very important in the game of fast-pitch softball.
close felt games helps key knowing weekend
I felt that this was a key weekend for us. Knowing you can win close games helps the confidence.
key point practice
The first inning was a key point in the game. But we've had a lot of practice in that scenario.
amount high key positive
All we need to do is play our game. The key for us is to come in with a high amount of positive energy.
against fan good gorgeous mistakes obviously opponent paid rebound
You can't give up those things. That is just too many mistakes against a good opponent and we paid for it. Obviously we are disappointed because we had such a gorgeous day and such a good fan turnout but we have to rebound quickly.
