Beating Benton twice in one year, that?s pretty good. They?re a real quality team. |
I hope we?re ready. I expect it to be a good game and a great game for Arkansas softball. |
I like what we've done so far and we're ready to see if we can continue that. |
I think she pitched a great game. One team feels great, the other doesn't. That's what happens in a game decided by one pitch. |
I was concerned to a point. I thought maybe we were going to be a little flat again, maybe still licking our wounds a little. |
If we play good this week we'll feel pretty good about ourselves going into the state tournament. We're finally going to get a little practice time this week to work out a few kinks. |
It was a perfect game. Not too bad. Offensively, I was more impressed with her than I was with her pitching. She competed for us and she did well especially with all the stuff that was going on. |
It was a timing change with the first pitcher. |
It was tough with this wind. But mentally this may be the thing we needed, hitting the ball on the button and executing some things. Hopefully this gets us back in the groove. |
Normally I don?t brag on my kids too much, but they were ready to play this weekend. They came out fired up to play. I was impressed. |
Offensively I was more pleased with her than her pitching. She led off and went 2 for 3. She competed, despite all this (bad weather) that's going on. I'm proud of her. She's a competitor. |
That always hurts. We kept trying to play for a run because we felt like if we could just punch one we're scoring again. It didn't happen, but it worked out that we held them. |
We don't need a lull (this week). We need to prove to ourselves that we can play and that we're ready for the state tournament. That's our main objective. |
We finally get a conference game at home and I think we'll have a little bit of a following out there. I think they liked what they saw against Mountain Home. |
We finally got a shutout. That's all right. We'll take the four but I'm really happy with the zero. I'm really proud of the girls and their effort. |
