The kids expect to make plays. It's a lot of concentration. We spend a lot of time working on fundamentals and they do a good job of that. |
There was a lot of unsung heroes for us. It was a team effort. Sometimes people get lost in the shuffle. But it takes an entire group. They earned it and there was nothing given to them. |
They didn't come in bunches. I think we had opportunities to score more than we did. A couple of times we left some runners out there. |
They made a lot of catches tonight; they earned their money out there. |
Two, big clutch hits. We had three, two-run hits and that tells me that we have kids coming up and producing in scoring situations. |
We are going to dance with who brought us here. We like to swing the bats more. Any coach would take advantage of what they have in abundance. |
We came back and started swinging the bats the way we're capable of the last half of the day. These conditions are pretty much on the horrible side, but the kids showed some great character and stuck to it and played very well in the end. |
We gave up one hit. One hit and you get beat like that. That was frustrating. We played good defense and had good pitching. We just didn't compete offensively. |
We hit the ball well tonight, not just at the top of the order. Top to bottom we hit the ball well. |
We've got experience coming back, we've got some solid players and I'm really looking for this team to do some good things this season. I really think we have the ability to get back where we were last year, but it's still a waiting game. We'll have to see how everything works out, and that takes a little time. |
When you've got something special like that, you want to make sure they have every opportunity to get it. I was proud for her to get a perfect game. So many things could go wrong. |
You had to worry about some fatigue. But for the most part they came out and got after it. |
