ball good hard hit hitting innings
We hit the ball hard the first two innings right at Wayne. If you keep hitting the ball hard, good things will happen.
enjoy hard team
One thing I enjoy about this team is they play hard and never quit.
added biggest competition concerns depth fill harder hurts knows lack last small teams
Depth was one of our biggest concerns last year. We only had 13 players, so we really added to our depth. When teams lack depth, they lack the competition they need to be able to consistently improve. That's one of the things that hurts teams when they have a small roster. Everyone knows they're going to have to play. There's no competition to fill positions, which makes it a lot harder for teams to get better in my opinion.
difficult excited focusing hard improve indoor last morning outside playing practices softball time trying
The last time we were outside was in the fall. So we're really excited to get out and play some games. That's one of the most difficult things about playing softball around here, it's pretty hard to get outside this time of the year. But indoor practices have been going well. I really like our attitude. We're going every morning at 6 a.m. Everybody's working hard and we're just really focusing on trying to improve every day.
great lose softball won
It was just a great softball game. We didn't lose that game, they won it. It was a great battle. They just executed a little more than we did.
bottom errors extra game learn teams until
It was a back-and-forth game until the bottom of the sixth. We started off with two fielding errors and they had a bases-loaded double. We have to learn not to give teams extra outs.
ball hit sioux
It was a pitcher's duel. We hit the ball really hard, but right at Sioux Falls.
caught controlled dominated game high level played tale
It was kind of a tale of two games. In game one, we dominated and controlled things offensively and defensively and played with a high level of energy. In game two, we got caught flat-footed a little bit.
bad excited facing good horrible learn work
They are very good and very well-coached. We're excited (about facing them again). We'll do some different things defensively and work on our mentality. If we can learn from this, it wasn't a bad day. If we don't, then it was a horrible day.
game playing softball taking timing together
We're taking our lumps. A lot of it is just playing together and being outside. Softball is a game of timing and you can't get that from the Barnett Center.
late matter team
This was just a really well-played game. It was just a matter of which team would get the late break.
good runners second twice unable
We had runners at first and second twice with no out and were unable to score. We did everything else as good or better than they did.
audrey cost error instead pitcher rough three
Audrey (starting pitcher Decker) had a a rough start. She should have been down 1-0 instead of 4-0 at the end of the second. An error cost us three runs.
days goes ladies respond teams
Days like this happen. Teams have days where nothing goes right. It's how you respond to them. I told the ladies I was disappointed for them and not at them.
