ball cut errors game hit mental physical playing second struggling
We hit the ball better (the second game). We're struggling playing defense. In the first game we had mental errors. In the second game we had physical errors, but we cut down on the mental errors. With enough repetitions, the physical errors should go down.
address ball hit next team ways
We didn't hit the ball well, there's no two ways about it. And that's something that we'll need to address as a team next season.
ahead ball great hitters job pitchers putting
Our pitchers are doing a great job for us right now. They are getting ahead of the hitters and are putting the ball in play for our fielders to make plays.
ball came hitting needed score second slow
We did what we needed to do. We came out a little slow offensively in the first game. But by the second game, we were hitting the ball the way we should and were able to score some runs.
ball game handled helped pitching sam stretch
When Leah got hurt, Sam was kind of our only pitcher. She went through a stretch where she had the ball every game and she handled that very well. And once they started pitching in tandem, it helped us a lot.
ball bounce katie nice
That's something you don't see very often. It was nice to see Katie get a nice bounce and have the ball go over.
ahead ball behind best count defense plays putting sam throwing
Sam pitched very well today. She's at her best when she is throwing strikes, getting ahead in the count and putting the ball in play so the defense can make plays behind her. She did all those things today.
ball chance change compete fall forced injuries lost ourselves players proud season unusual year
It was kind of an unusual year. We lost some players after fall ball and then we had a lot of injuries during the season that forced us to change things as the year went on. But the most important thing for us was that we were still able to compete and give ourselves a chance to win. And I'm phenomenally proud about that.
ball believed heading hit mistakes needed nice obviously ourselves pair plays second stuck until wins
The first game, we obviously hit the ball very well. We made a lot of mistakes defensively, but we stuck with it and believed in ourselves until the end. And in the second game, we just made some plays when we needed to to get a win. It's a nice pair of wins heading into the weekend.
advantage battle break caught final until
We kind of caught a break there. But we were able to take advantage of that. We always battle until the final out.
chance couple games good hopefully next sign start win
We were pretty close. We had a lot of games that we had a chance to win and couldn't get over the hump. But that's a good sign and in the next couple of years, we'll hopefully start being able to win some of those games.
chance games gave good next nice people shore strongest time trying weeks
We had a good week. We're 7-7 now, and we got a chance to get a lot of games in with nice weather. I think this is the strongest up and down lineup we've ever had. Defensively we gave up a lot of unearned runs. We're trying people in new positions, and it was the first time outside. In the next two weeks we'll try to shore up the defense.
early game mistakes picked sharp threw
We weren't as sharp in the early going of game two as we should have been. We made some mistakes in the field. But Aurora threw very well and we picked it up as the game went along.
dug game hurt ourselves sam
Leah hurt her back before the game and went two innings. We then went to Sam but we dug ourselves a little hole.
