coming game parts phenomenal together
I thought we were just phenomenal in the first inning. Parts of the game are really coming together for us right now.
again believe both change deal emily great leaders leaders-and-leadership lights perform pitchers starting step tough track
I like the way we look right now. Our leaders are starting to step up their play. Emily was lights out again for us. Dani had her change up working well again. It's great to see both of our pitchers perform so well because we really do believe we have that 1-2 combination but it's just been a little lacking. Once Dani is back on track we should be really tough to deal with.
few good great helped innings job
It was a good job by Dani for a few innings and then a great job by Emily. Killian made a great play at the end that helped keep them from scoring.
behind came flat four game hand innings kids looked overall pleased second three
I've got to hand it to the team. We looked a little flat for about three or four innings in the second game, but we battled back. We came from behind and never game up. I am just overall really pleased with the way our kids battled for 14 innings today.
absolutely air bats capable good great job leaving matter pitchers played softball swung tough
It was a great day offensively for the Tigers. We absolutely swung the bats like I know we are capable of doing. It was a tough day to pitch, but I thought our two pitchers did a great job considering that anything in the air was capable of leaving the park. It was a great day for us, but not good softball conditions. It was just a matter of survival, but I thought we played well.
ball extremely good great hit intended job pitchers sweep team tough
It was a great sweep for the Tigers. We did what we intended to do for the weekend. The team hit the ball extremely well all weekend. The pitchers did a good job in tough conditions.
balance both came good huge kept needed pitcher pitches played second sweep talk
It was a good sweep for us on the day. I thought we were a little tentative at the plate. (Mary Jane) Callahan is a good pitcher and she kept us off balance in the second game. Camille came up huge when you talk about primetime hitting. I thought both of our pitches came through with the pitches when we needed them and we played some outstanding defense.
came clicking complete cylinders emily great opening shut team
It was a complete day for us at the ballpark. We had a great opening win. Emily pitched very well and the team responded. They came out clicking on all cylinders and shut Troy down.
against bats defense effective good impressive needed pitcher played sharp talented tigers
It was an impressive day for the Tigers with the bats against a pretty effective pitcher in Callahan. We were opportunistic and played some good defense when we needed to. I didn't think that Dani was particularly sharp but she was still talented enough to win.
almost clutch defense happen hit hitting lost opponent played runners scoring team three
The defense was there, but we just never got the clutch hit all weekend. We out-hit almost every opponent and lost three games. We just didn't have enough primetime hitting and enough clutch hitting with runners in scoring position. The team played hard, but it just didn't happen today.
against alabama appears atmosphere balanced best crimson excited expect forward great looking playing shot team tide tremendous
We are very excited about playing in a regional-type atmosphere against a tremendous Alabama team this weekend. This appears to be the most balanced Crimson Tide team that we have ever seen. We expect nothing but their best shot and are looking forward to a great series.
alabama balanced emily few hits key murphy potent proud question shut team
We had a few key hits and Emily shut down a very potent Alabama offense. There is no question that this is the most balanced Alabama team that Patrick Murphy has ever had. I'm very proud of our team.
athlete deserves emily hardest incredible literally positives seeing
What an incredible honor, not only for Emily, but also for our program. Emily deserves all of the positives she is seeing in her performances because she is literally the hardest working athlete I have ever coached.
confident game kept pumped saying season seeing since team
The team was very confident in the dugout. We weren't getting many hits, but they kept saying they were seeing the ball. The team has been pumped to play this game since the season started.
