bad conditions defense executing girls good job stopped
Considering the conditions and how bad it really was I thought the girls did a good job of executing at the plate. Our defense just got comfortable when they made the errors. We stopped being aggressive.
compete emphasis focus highest level prepared stress team wins
I'm not going to stress out over it and I'm not going to put more emphasis on wins or losses. I'm just going to focus on getting the team prepared to compete at the highest level they can.
anxious familiar freshmen girls good needed played positions
It was a good start. The girls were anxious and we got some new freshmen in some new positions and I thought they played well. Our sophomores were big as well as it showed that they were familiar with what needed to get done.
experience last pressures respond situations stress year
Their experience and pressures they had to go through last year only made them better, so when we come to those pressure situations this year, I feel comfortable they'll respond and not stress out over it.
easily focused job room thinking warm
They could have easily been thinking about a warm room or a warm bed, but they focused and got the job done.
aggressive runners top work
They weren't being aggressive and they could never find their rhythm. When you have runners get on at the top of the lineup, we've got to have them produce. We'll go back and work on it this week.
battling came coming game girls great hole job last ourselves position putting themselves win
We got ourselves in a hole and the game came down to the last at-bat. The girls did a great job of coming back, battling and putting themselves in a position to win the game. We just couldn't get over the hump.
ball great hard hit people runners running scoring
We hit the ball hard in that game, it just didn't drop. We hit it hard at people and they made some great plays. We didn't make the adjustments at the plate. We also had runners in scoring position, we just didn't execute.
both came close enjoy execute fewer games girls hard hate lose mistakes needed played second teams upset winning
You hate to lose something that close but both teams played hard and it came down to the team that executed and made the fewer mistakes that won. You enjoy games like that. You want to be on the winning end of it. I told the girls that I wasn't upset over that. We just needed to execute in the second game.
aggressive plate press short simple staying talked
(The weather) kind of relaxes you. We talked about just staying focused, keep everything short and simple and not to press and just let it come. But at the same time, we had to stay aggressive at the plate and on the bases.
attention conference gets helps motivate picked rankings team teams
Right now they're the team to beat. We're picked first in the conference and the rankings are just a big bulls-eye. It gets everybody's attention and helps motivate the teams we're playing. We've got to show up too.
ball game good hit second team tight zone
The second game I thought the zone was a little tight for us. If it's a tight zone with a good team like that they're going to capitalize. They're going to put the ball in play and hit it hard. That's kind of what happened.
finding hard time
She had a hard time finding her rhythm.
aggressive came fewest game girls learn mistakes stay winner
I told the girls to learn from their mistakes in the first game and stay aggressive at the plate. And we did. Again, the winner came down to who made the fewest mistakes.
