almost chance happened stick team
Any team that you let stick around, there's a chance they'll come back and get you. And that almost happened tonight.
both coaches easily move swing teams telling wish
It was just one swing of the bat, and it easily could have been us. I was telling their coaches I wish it was the championship so both teams could move on.
coaches deal decided pitching
Once they decided they were going to make that change, they went to their pitching coaches and started pitching from that distance. It hasn't been a big deal pitching or offensively.
help nice pull together
It's nice when they pull together to help someone.
defense funny game hit pitching shows
It just shows you how funny this game is. You can not get a hit and still be in the game if your pitching and defense does well.
chased courtney great plays
Courtney made some great plays for us tonight. She chased down two of them that probably prevented runs.
ball defense definitely few game hard hats hit strong
Our defense is definitely our strong point. Hats off to Southeast. They hit the ball hard a few times ... That play to end the game -- that was a shot.
gave girls giving quotes reminded silver today
One of my quotes for the girls today was, 'Leave your silver platters at home, because we're not giving them anything. Then we gave up the first one ... I reminded them to put their silver platters away.
angles bats catch confident early great kids season taking took
She took a great angle. We've been stressing that. Early on in the season we weren't taking great angles ... The kids can play defense, we just need our bats to catch up. We need to get confident at the plate.
calls dad emotion emotions pitches shows
She shows no emotion on the mound. I can't read her. I don't think her dad (who calls her pitches from the sideline) can read her.
field leader
She's a leader all the way through, on and off the field.
gets
She's nails. She gets out there and gets into her own little zone.
coming defensive forward great looking player
She's a great defensive player in right field. She's just a great kid. She's someone that we're looking forward to coming back. We can put her anywhere.
arm both entire gets glad knowing relaxed rely season tough
They're both tough as nails. I'm glad we have more than one pitcher. We don't have to rely on one arm the entire season ... and you're a little more relaxed going into each game, knowing that if one of them gets in trouble, the other is always there.
