ball both capable hitting knew lift teams
Psychologically, it was the lift we needed. Both teams were hitting the ball really well. We were just hitting right with them, which is something I knew we were capable of doing.
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.
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.
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.
best good teams
Pittsburg is the best we're going to see. They are solid, one through nine. We want to play good teams and be able to play with them and play better each day.
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.
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.
against amount awful coach division fortunate great northern opened opportunity position respect tremendous
I've always wanted to be here. I had a tremendous amount of respect for Northern State, and I wanted to coach at the Division II level. I have nothing against the NAIA, I just want to be a Division II coach. So when the position opened up, I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to be here. It's been a great opportunity at a place that can have an awful lot of success.
ball fun game good played
We played really well and it was a fun game to watch. We put the ball in play and it was a good first game for us.
ran
Lisa (pitcher Koehler) ran out of gas. We got a little tired.
behind defense good played whale
Lisa pitched a whale of a game, and we played good defense behind her.
behind defense good improvement
Lisa had really good defense behind her. They made some outstanding plays. You could really tell the improvement from yesterday.
bottom fifth game good situation
We were up 7-0 in the bottom of the fifth and had only one good at-bat. That's a situation where you have to have good at-bats and put the game away in five.
enjoy hard team
One thing I enjoy about this team is they play hard and never quit.
