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. |
They have a great pitcher. She's had two good games against us this year and their shortstop made probably three run-saving plays. |
This is what we needed to do today. We were really focused at the plate in the first game and late in the second game. It's fun when everyone gets their feet wet and sees action in the game. |
This was one of those teams that we said we needed to sweep and we're getting it done. We divided the programs up as to what was realistic and who we thought on paper we should sweep and we are on track so far except for Georgia. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
We talked about scoring in the first inning because we realize how important it is for us. We exploded out, and made a statement immediately. We couldn't quite finish it, but we did get to play everybody. Emily (Turner) wasn't as sharp as she has been, but she was still in total control except for one pitch. |
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. |
