Heidi pitched a good game for us. We made two errors but they didn't hurt us. We made the plays behind her when we had to. |
I don't know if the school has ever had a girl hit the ball like Jamie is hitting it this season. We've had some good hitters. But right now, I'd have to put Jamie at the top of the list. |
I thought, by the end of the game, we were swinging the bats as good as we have all year. And considering we just came back from spring break, that's a good sign. |
It's always a little more special to win a close game like this with a run in the bottom of the seventh. I had a lot of confidence in the kids we had coming to the plate. Courtney Smith is only a sophomore, but she can hit. I had a good idea she'd come through for us. |
Jamie is really pounding the ball. She's been getting big hits for us all season. |
Now it's our job to put this game behind us and get ready for next week. It was a tough game for us. Nothing went right. But that stuff happens now and then. We just have to regroup and get ready for two tough conference games next week. |
Once we figured out where the game was and what time it was going to start, we did a pretty good job. But it was kind of weird at the start. I'm just glad we found out about the change on time. |
Right now things are going very well for us. Our pitching is good, we're making the plays on defense, and the entire lineup is hitting the ball. Hopefully, we can keep playing like this the rest of the season. We're having a lot of fun right now. |
The bottom of the order really came through for us today. When your last three hitters get seven hits, it should be a good day. Plus, we finished with 14 hits for the game. That should be more than enough to beat just about any team. |
This conference race is going to go down to the final game. In my years here, the league has never had this much balance. A lot of teams are capable of winning on any day. We're in a good position but we're going to have to keep playing like this to stay in the lead. |
We had four hits and they walked six of our batters but we just couldn't take advantage of it. If we get just one or two more hits at the right time, we probably win the game. I guess it just wasn't our day. Things like this happen every now and then. |
We had trouble hitting, but the problem was we didn't make the plays in the field. They had three runs and all of them were unearned. Our errors allowed all of those runs to score. |
We just couldn't get a hit when it counted all night long. We had our chances. We left a ton of kids on base. It's too bad. Pius gave us chances to win and we didn't take advantage of it. |
We might have played our best game tonight. The defense made the plays, Sam pitched well and our hitters came through when we had people on base. Hopefully, this is the way we play the rest of the season. |
We're off to a good start, and certainly Jamie is a big reason for that. But we've got a lot of girls playing well. Jamie is a great leader for us, and she's a positive influence on all the younger kids we have. A coach couldn't ask for a better kid to be on their team. |
