either hoping
We're hoping for the best, but there's not much you can do about it either way.
bats good hitters pitchers swing tough
When you swing the bats like that, you're going to be pretty tough to beat. It was a good day. The hitters did a good job. It wasn't like their pitchers were slopping it up there.
good hit pitches score swings takes
When you can score early, it takes away the pressure. We just went up there and got good pitches to hit and put good swings on them.
defensive gets good ground help herself hit jam kept pitcher pitches plays turn
Groff kept making good pitches to get out of jams, and we made some good defensive plays to help her out. She's the kind of a pitcher who can get herself out of a jam with one pitch because she gets so many ground balls, and we're going to turn two when you hit one at somebody.
adjusting bad far good job pitches swinging swings taking
We didn't do a good job all day adjusting to what we saw, as far as having good swings on the pitcher. We were swinging at bad pitches and taking good pitches.
