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.
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 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.
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.
beginning early good great last morning night opportunity played productive seemed settled shaky
It was a productive day at the ballpark. After a shaky beginning I thought we settled down and played some good defense. It seemed like we had a mini-hangover from last night and was very uncharacteristic of this team. We have a great opportunity early in the morning to play another very good opponent.
bat chances closer credit excellent game key plate played quite swing third ucla
I thought we played excellent and we had some chances but didn't quite capitalize. The game was closer than the score, but credit UCLA for making the play at the plate in the third inning and getting the one key swing of the bat to win it.
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.
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.
business came care cylinders firing left people second series
We came out firing on all cylinders in the first game. However, in the second game, we just left too many people on base. The series is not over. We still have to come out and take care of business tomorrow.

Leslie Klein hit her first home run in two years. She looks like she's back and she loves softball.
