Don't get me wrong. Give them credit, they came out and hit the ball and played a good game defensively. |
I think we played well tonight. We have had a lot of games this year where we beat ourselves and tonight we should have won 2-1. We realize we gave up those two runs and we need to learn to take care of the ball and not allow those things to happen. |
I told the girls we will take the win, but we are still not where we need to be hitting wise. Right now we have a very good group of very nice girls, but we are too nice to be an aggressive softball team. |
Our ability to be there for each other is also a strength. We don't complain or blame people for mistakes. They just pick them up by getting a big hit or by making a great play in the field. |
Our outfield had a great night. Tonight was the first night they saw a lot of action and they stepped up and did a great job. |
Those are mental mistakes. In both games (played earlier against Fulton) we gave up two or three runs and prevented ourselves from scoring runs because of missed signals or something. We are still hurting ourselves that way. |
We only have 14 players, but we can find a spot for all of them. If somebody is having a bad day or not feeling well then there is somebody ready to step up and take their place. That is what makes this team nice. |
We played almost four innings of tough defense against them. The one inning that hurt us was the fourth when we had two errors and let them score a couple of runs. They shouldn't have even scored that inning and they scored three runs. |
We still need to work on being aggressive with the bats against better pitchers. We did a good job and they played hard. We got some girls some experience at different positions. I was happy with what I saw. We did well competing against a good team. |
