Hitting for the cycle is a great accomplishment for any batter. That was a pretty amazing thing to witness tonight, especially since Brooke was able to do it in four at-bats. |
Indiana is a little bit like us. They're in a tough conference and trying to re-build the program. It should be a good game when we go head-to-head tomorrow. |
It kind of looked like she just pushed it out there. But with two strikes there's no pride. With two strikes you just find a way to get it done. |
The bottom of the batting order really came through for us today and Amy Kendall did a great job on the mound. We need to do a better job with our short game and getting some bunts down. |
This was a disappointing day but not because of the outcome, but because of our lack of effort and toughness. We definitely didn't play to our full potential and with the effort we played with in Vegas or against Kent State. The end of the second game was a little better, but we shot ourselves in the foot too early on. At least we got back on the right track for tomorrow. |
This was a great day for our pitching staff. They really worked together today. We got timely hitting today which was something we didn't get last weekend against Arkansas. We played hard today and that was nice to see going into our series with Florida because Louisville is very similar to them. |
We need to keep our confidence up. If we start over and play well we can still accomplish what we set out to. |
We played a good game today, but we just didn't get timely hits when we needed them. Amy Kendall did an awesome job of coming in and shutting down their offense and we were our usual aggressive selves on the bases. We played well, but it just didn't work out today. |
We played some tough teams and we played well. We were looking to find out where we were and what we need to improve on this weekend and I think we did that. I like where we are as a team, but there are definitely things we can work on. Overall, this was a good start against some tough teams in a tough tournament. |
We talk about the tasks of grief. Emotionally, we have to acknowledge the loss. The second task is to experience the pain. What happens when you are going through a trial, you are still in the pain. Hearing the graphic testimony is like taking a razor blade and slitting open a scar. Initially, with a shocking death like that, you go numb right away, and a year later, you hear the details, you are more aware. |
We weren't as sharp as I would've liked us to be. But good teams find a way to win, and we did that today. |
With a public loss like that, the issues are very different because you are in the media. People that don't know you know. You can't hide. You get no relief anywhere. I'm sure in the supermarket people are whispering. It makes it very different. The fact there are kids involved is always very tragic. |
