It's a tough weekend. You need some breaks to beat some of the bigger teams. We need day-to-day consistency to keep ourselves in games in the sixth and seventh innings and get some big plays. We are going to grow a lot in a week. |
It's just a cycle and things and it is very frustrating for the kids. I give a lot of credit to them for coming right back out, right back at it, 100 percent. Nobody has let up, nobody is down on themselves. They realize there is a reality to what's going on and they are going to keep fighting through that. |
It's one of those things where I wish I knew the complete answer, how this all would be solved, how we could come out and get great pitching everyday. It's tough, that's why our record is where it's at. |
Our chemistry is awesome, the best in my four years here. We all got to be on the same page. It's great to see people pulling for each other on the bench. |
Our philosophy is to work the pitchers and get the counts. The bottom of the order is wearing pitchers down and we are getting a lot of productive outs. We are hitting rockets left and right in the infield. |
Our pitching is really coming around. They are starting to get comfortable. |
Right now I think our team knows that our soft spot is pitching. I think the kids know we've got injuries and different things going on so we're just trying to get back and it's hard. It's hard to come back from injuries and perform at 100 percent right away. When you're on the mound there is very little room for error. |
Right now the conference is just everywhere. I would like to win three every weekend if I could, but you've got to just take your wins where you get them. |
Shayne came out and hung one pitch and that's a fine line. They were fortunate enough to cash in their hits. |
She had a great day today. She had two good at bats before the seventh and created some good momentum for herself. |
She really carried us this weekend, it was real nice to see, I'm really happy for her. She has really worked on her hitting over the last month and has been a real contributor in our lineup. |
She rolled her ankle in the dugout, there was some pretty good swelling. We're sort of shortened on our staff right now. We'll make some adjustments. |
She was real solid. She gave us an opportunity to win. She made some pitches at times. |
She'll be fine. This is a mental game that you battle with. Tomorrow she might come out and get three hits. |
The benefit is that with Harvard being so close we can probably make up a game or maybe two at some point. The problem with Rhode Island is that, you know, it's an hour and 45 minutes [away]. So at least with Harvard we can decide last minute, probably in the morning, whether or not to play, and then probably make it up if we can't. |
