That was a big play for us. They had the momentum going their way and the double play swung it back in our direction. It was a real turning point in the game.

Ashley did a nice job in the second game. She got in trouble a couple of times, but she responded well. The double play was big to get her out of the inning.
capable career good improved looking past since swing year
I'm really looking for a big year from Brianna (Venable). Her swing has really improved over the past year, and I think she capable of having a better year than she has had since she's been here, and she had a good career here so far.
bats fall glad hits runners sneak starting swing timely
In one way I'm glad we're starting to swing the bats better and getting runners on base. Now it's the timely hits we need to get. Once we start getting those to sneak through or fall in we'll be fine.

We played a lot of people today. We got to see what some of the younger kids could do in a game situation and see how far along they were.
care conference great played playing though
We have to go up there and take care of business. We'll need to go there playing well, even though TSU doesn't have a great conference record. They've played a lot of one- and two-run games, so we can't take them for granted.
