almost eight errors impossible position puts
When you make two errors in the game, it puts you in a position to lose. But when you make eight errors in a game, it makes it almost impossible win.
field throws
We just made some really lackadaisical throws in the field at times.
emily harder plays throw tough
Emily pitched well for us today. It's always tough to throw back-to-back games. It was even harder with it the 95-degree weather. We just have to make the plays in the field.
best emily great
Emily pitched a great game. It was one of her best performances of the year.
errors indecisive knowing throw
Errors can be contagious. We were indecisive on defense, not always knowing where to throw the ball.
against home mountain needed playoffs split state stay tough
We really needed at least a split against Mountain Home to stay in the race. It's going to be tough to make the state playoffs now.
bunt hits key single
We couldn't get the key hits today. We didn't get bunt well, either. We didn't get a single bunt down all day.
came good leigh park played ready today
Leigh played well today and made good contact. She really came to the park ready to play.
freeze good line pitcher runners tough
We tell the runners to freeze on a line drive. The pitcher made some good plays, though, so it's just tough for the runner at first.
We started hitting, but it was just too little, too late.
balance ball kept pitcher wants
Their pitcher locates really well. She can put the ball right where she wants it and kept us off balance all night.
mistakes
It was just another error-plagued game. We just made little mistakes like we have been doing all year.
late pitches strike swinging
In the late innings, we were swinging at pitches that were way out of the strike zone.
battling compete credit game girls hard playing playoff spot state
The girls are down. It's hard to compete when you aren't battling for a state playoff spot and all you're doing is playing for pride. The girls still play hard every game though. I have to give them credit for that.
