Right now, I'm proud of them. If we continue with this intensity, we'll be OK.

We won a game once and we ran 18. We lost a game against Saint Pete Catholic and we ran two.
ball beginning confident game goes hit struggle
I was very confident with the way we hit the ball and put the ball in play the first two innings. We usually struggle more at the beginning of the game. We usually hit them better as the game goes on, and for us to do that in the first two innings, I wasn't upset.
adjusted ashley fastball outside threw tight
(Friday), she threw her fastball very well inside. So she went outside early. They adjusted and got tight on the plate. But as they adjusted, Ashley adjusted also.
anytime bad girls good happen hard
If we're better than the other team, and we play hard, good things will happen for us. Obviously, anytime you can get lead, it's not a bad thing, but it's hard to play hard every night. There weren't any girls out there that I was disappointed in at all, actually.
effort physically pitch pitching seem
She doesn't seem like she's real comfortable and I think part of that is that she's never had to pitch so much. She's put so much effort physically into pitching that something has to give.
chances changing fabulous fastball good inside job keeping outside people pitches
She pitched fabulous (Friday night). She did a good job changing speeds. Her fastball inside was working well and keeping people off the plate. And when we had chances to go outside, she made pitches on the outside corner.
chance couple hit last needs shown struggling
She never really had a chance to hit a whole lot because she was struggling defensively. But the last couple games, she's shown that defensively she needs to be in there.
ability brings combined fastest game good jump kids loves running sarah speed spirit
The other kids see how much she loves to play the game and it brings a lot of spirit to the team. She is not the fastest person on the team, but has good speed and combined with her ability to get a jump on pitchers, it makes her very good at running the bases. Sarah is also a fun-loving person.
games three top
This was probably one of her top two or three games (Thursday).
expect good lose played region score team
That inning pretty much set the tone. You don't expect to lose to a team 7-1 in the region finals. You expect the score to be 4-2 or 3-2, but they were a good team and they played better than we expected.
best whoever winning
They will be well-prepared. Whoever executes the best will probably end up winning the game.
credit kid wished
It's a credit to the girls. It has a lot to do with their personalities. There's not one kid that you'd say you wished wasn't your daughter.
best game line plenty pressure stepped
I told her that's probably the best game she's pitched, especially with what was on the line (Wednesday). There was plenty of pressure on her (Wednesday), and she stepped up.
