Any time our speed is on base, it just puts that much more pressure on the defense. The last thing I said to Jackie is hit the ball on the ground and get Gammon to third. That's all she was thinking and she did a really nice job. |
Autumn did a great job today. She did a nice job of mixing up her pitches, and I think that our defense played extremely well behind her. Autumn just kind of trusts in her defense and trusts in her pitches and does a great job. This is a huge win for us. |
Autumn did a nice job today. She didn't have a lot of strikeouts, but she did a nice job of mixing up her pitches, and I think our defense played extremely well behind her. Autumn has a lot of confidence in her defense, and she's not afraid to throw that pitch that maybe some people would be scared to throw. She trusts in her defense. |
Autumn pitched great. I think she got a little tired toward the end. |
Both pitchers pitched a great game. Autumn was awesome again. She's going into extra innings and leaving it all out on the field. She pitched really, really well. |
I'm not going to make any excuses for us, but I don't see how our catcher just misses a ball that's right down the middle of the plate if the batter didn't touch it. But I'm not going to make excuses for us; that didn't lose us the game. |
Kling has a good arm. She just came up and did what she does every day in practice. |
Our hitters were definitely not making adjustments today. As the game goes on, you see the pitcher and you should be able to adjust, and we just didn't do that. |
She pitched a lot of big games last year. She's an all-around athlete. We're definitely excited to see what she does as a sophomore. |
She pitched awesome, we just didn't give her any run support. She hung in there; she made big pitches in big situations and I thought our defense played great behind her. |
She's a pure athlete who has a lot of really good tools. She's a great defensive player, she hits well and she has good speed. She has a lot going for her. |
She's only a sophomore, but she's been in some big games. She's pitched ten-inning and eleven-inning games for us, and as the season's gone on she's gotten more and more comfortable. |
They are a very good team. They have awesome hitters up and down their lineup, No. 1 through No. 9. |
We are extremely deep at a lot of positions. We told the girls, 'Just continue to work hard, and we're not going to have the same lineup for the first 10 games.' I think it is going to take some time to find where everybody fits. |
We definitely hit up and down the line-up today. We've been trying to do that this season, but we haven't been very consistent, so this was a good game for us. |
