Being our first year we knew we had a good group of girls. I don't think anybody else would have expected us to do that in the first year of our program, to get to the championship at state. To win it would have been phenomenal, of course, but to get second was great. |
I would say especially at the beginning. I wouldn't say that they were nervous but maybe a little bit on the jittery side. Olympia had their radio in the dugout and they were dancing and singing when we were out there taking infield practice. |
One of the better pitchers we have seen all season. It just happened that there in the fifth it started to fall apart for her. Her defense wasn't helping her out too much and it just snowballed from there. |
The girls are pretty excited. We are looking forward to Friday. Their goal at the beginning of the season was to make it to state. On the way home they changed their goal to wanting to in state. They are not ready to be done now. They are as excited as I am. They were pumped up on the way to the game and even louder on the way back. |
We didn't quit. We came back and we hit and we had girls on. We just couldn't pull any runs out. |
We had some pretty down faces. For us coming back is a hard thing. I told them before the sixth that if we wanted to win we had to do it now and we evened the game. Before the seventh I told them it was time to show them what we are made of. Everything clicked in the seventh. |
