Because we felt Freedom was a little weaker we tried a few things we wouldn't normally try in a close game. You have to see how your runners are going to do in these non-district games. The hit the ball well and they listened well.

I expect that from her, and her play on first today was great. She's a good kid and a great athlete.
|
I feel really strong about the infield I'm thinking about having. I feel good about my outfield too, I just don't know who that's going to be.
|
I knew Bethany could produce for us. Last year she was my No. 2 pitcher, and she was young. She's improved a lot. Her batting has gotten a lot better too. I know she can do a good job.
|
I think it's just going to be a sprain, possibly to her right shoulder. She's going to ice it tonight and the trainer is going to look at it again tomorrow.
|
I think this year we're going to have to focus more on our defense. Our pitching is strong, but not as strong as it was last year.
|
I thought the first inning they had a few jitters and a couple errors and mental mistakes, but other than that I thought they played real well. The best part is that they really hit the ball well today and that is what is going to win these games for us is how well we hit the ball.
|
Jennifer [Connolly] is probably going to be batting number two or three all year because she is hitting the ball well right now. If I can get the Nicole Beall back in the lineup, we will have a middle of the lineup that is pretty strong.
|
Other than the three game skid, we shook it off. That's one thing about these teams is that we don't know anything about them. We did well with hitting the ball. Their pitcher wasn't that fast, but she was consistent.
|
She [Baker] did a good job, she got a little tired towards the end, but she hung in there. I think she feels confident with the defense behind her, so I think she will be OK.
|
She did a good job. We have to work with her on placement of her feet, and catch the ball before she makes a play. I think we'll be OK.
|
She's [Baker] been pitching pretty well, but she's been pitching a lot. I think I am going to rest her tomorrow. I just think she needs a rest. She's been doing a good job and our defense has been getting her out of a few snarls.
|
The best part of it is, I've worked with all of them before. They know me and they know my coaching style. When you have young girls they're going to listen to you more than older girls who think they know everything.
|
The biggest key was holding them to not that many hits and that is what did it for us. We had those mental errors in the first and gave them those two runs in the beginning, but they were unearned runs.
|
There's a chance she could be out indefinitely. She's pretty sick. We'll just have to grin and bear it.
