chance felt good looking needed push risks run time
The way I'm looking at it is, you have to have a good throw, everything has to be on and we're down. Sometimes you have to take risks and be aggressive. I felt at the time that we needed to take that chance to push the run across.
box everybody flock given lead rely score stepping time
Everybody has been stepping up at any given time to get it done. If you look at our box score it's not like we rely on one or two people. Everybody is stepping up at different times like a flock of geese. One person has to take the lead and we have that going for us right now.
besides evident playing succeeding team true
She is a true team player. It's not about the playing time, it's not about the numbers, it's not about anything besides the team succeeding and that is very evident in her play.
awesome both competition good great job knowing situation throw
It's an awesome situation to be in. Both (Green) and (Zeller) do a great job back there. If one isn't getting it done, we can throw the other one back there. It's good competition as well because they can't get too comfortable knowing the other one is right there with them.
battling expect fall games great green shoulder stepped stepping time tremendous
Green has stepped up big time for us. She has called some great games and has also done tremendous at the plate. She was a walk-on in the fall and I didn't know what to expect out of her but she's done very well in stepping in for (junior catcher) Erin Zeller, who has been battling a shoulder injury.
ahead exactly weekend worked
Awesome. They worked ahead all weekend and that's exactly what we need them to do.
break changed games lesson losses sat spring team winning year
The losses we have had this year have been a lesson for us. We started winning some games over Spring Break after we sat down and had a team meeting. Nothing has changed on our end, I still think we will win our conference.
force instead start thinking trusting trying wrong
(Ferguson) started off really well, but sometimes one thing will go wrong and then you start thinking and then you start trying to force it instead of just trusting your stuff.
girls opportunity
It is very important to get young girls involved, to get to see sports, to have the opportunity to participate in things like this.
ball base games nice talked team throw total
It was nice to have a big inning like that. In between games we talked about adjustments at the plate. We got on base and made them throw the ball all over the park. It was a total team effort.
aggressive best brings dominant iowa lose single team
Iowa always brings out the best in every team that they play. They are such an aggressive and such a dominant team that you want to come out here and play well every single time. I told my team that we've got nothing to lose and to just go out and play loose.
fun telling turned watch whatever
(Green) has really turned it on lately. She's been really fun to watch and I just keep telling her to keep on doing whatever she's doing.
arm ball bat behind brought extremely hit key plate reason strength
Obviously, her bat is what got me interested. She hit the ball extremely well, but her arm strength from behind the plate was also a key reason why we brought her on.
blowing game games gotten looking pitch process start thinking
We've gotten away from looking at the process of the game. We start looking at the big picture, and we start thinking about (winning all the games in a series). Right now we're blowing this up way too big, and that's what we did during the (losing streak). We need to play the game pitch by pitch.
