bad complete control good looked pitch
Dani looked very good tonight. She was in complete control after the first inning and really only had one bad pitch in that inning.
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.
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.
becoming complete emily fantastic job last physically pitch year
I thought Emily did a fantastic job all weekend. She has become what she was at the end of the year last year. She is becoming the complete pitcher. Not only is she physically gifted, but she understands how to pitch now and not just throw.
emily junior kid mental pitcher senior since talent until year
I have to give kudos to Emily because that kid has come a long way since she started. I always thought it would take until her junior or senior year until you could really see what kind of pitcher she is. She's always had all the talent in the world and now she's getting the mental aspect.
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.
almost finally hit klein
Quinlan almost hit one, Soto almost hit one and then Klein finally got all of one.
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.
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.
coaching concerned great knew proud rest staff stretch team time
I was very proud of the team this week. I was kind of concerned because they knew they were getting some time off and I didn't want them to look ahead. The team and the coaching staff are going to get some rest this weekend. It comes at a great time with the stretch that we are about to encounter.
ball chance competition gets good hard hit overall played
I thought it was an exceptional day for the Tigers. We hit the ball hard and played good defense. Everyone had a chance to play. The competition gets a little better tomorrow, but overall I was very happy.
against ball bit control emily hard moved oregon outing rough state threw throw
I thought it was important for Emily to throw tonight. She had a rough outing against Oregon State and we wanted to give her back a little bit of confidence. She threw hard and I thought her ball moved well. She was in control during the game.
