Elena pitched a great game. We can't take anything away from her tonight. We just didn't make the adjustments at the plate. |
I think they are excited right now, because they have just had two wins, and coming off of that is positive for us. They have a winning attitude right now. We're in there; it's just taking an extra step against the big teams, and tomorrow [today] is going to be a good challenge for us. |
I think we are prepared for Elena. We've been practicing her different pitches, and a lot of my girls play tournament ball against her and have helped us prepare. |
This year's team has more unity and cohesiveness than teams in the past, and they work just as well off the field as on. The girls' attitudes are always positive and the team has a collective never-say-die philosophy. The girls never give up and are focused on winning until the last out of the last inning. |
Tonight we didn't get the big hit and we had too many errors. We have to execute at the plate and on the field. I know we can. They were playing not to lose instead of playing to win. |
