(Courtney) was real strong the first three innings, but she was a little off than what she normally is. |
A passed ball or a squeeze play was the only thing that worked for us. |
If anybody was going to come through with a hit like that, I'm glad it was a senior. A couple of innings prior, Jenna was in a situation where if she'd got a base hit, we would have scored a run, but she didn't. So this was huge. |
In the first two games of the season, we've scored quite a few runs, and I'm not complaining if the offense keeps rolling. |
It could very well be that kids who last year were in a comfort spot of, 'This is my spot, this is where I'm going to hit,' and then you mix it up a little bit. It was nice to see we'll be gradually getting Courtney back. She should be back before you know it -- she's healed and that will take us up another notch. |
She's going to make things happen. Her hitting has improved from the right side quite a bit, and that has helped her out. |
She's pitched well with Courtney (Wilkinson) out with an injury. Aubrey is the go-to pitcher, and we're going to go with her as long as we can. |
That didn't look like Jefferson City that I was out there coaching. We just seemed very blah, we had no life. We didn't hit the ball like we should -- we can hit better than that. |
This weekend is going to be a tough test for us because we're going to play some good ball teams. |
We got out of two big jams against Southern Boone with running in scoring position, and that's big. |
We've adjusted really well to the pitching these last two games. If the top of our lineup is struggling, then the bottom half is strong, and that's a good thing to have. |
When something like that happens, you've got to make the right moves and do the right things, and we did. |
When you get Jessica on base, she makes things happen. |
