action ahead ball behind came complete diana effective expect fire game gets hitting innings job might movement pitcher pitchers plays ready rid senses spots team tempo three today
Sometimes your team plays off the tempo of the pitcher and when the pitcher comes out excited, with a fire behind them, the team senses that and responds. All three of our pitchers were hitting their spots today. Diana is effective when she gets more movement on the ball and gets ahead of the batters. She came out ready to go and did that today. Then Mel came out and did her job as well. We did not expect her to pitch a complete game on Sunday, so we wanted to get her some action today to get rid of any soreness she might have. We also wanted to get Brooke some more innings in before the weekend.
aggressive behind defense helps hits huge nice offense pitching position runners runs scoring six start
I thought our defense was on today, our pitching was there, our offense was getting hits with runners in scoring position and being aggressive on the bases. Scoring in the first inning also was huge for us. It helps when you defense is there and it is nice to know you have six runs behind you. It was a nice start to the weekend.
call practice
I call it practice in the sun. Practice outside.
couple threw
She threw really well. She was big for us in a couple of areas.
multiple powerful swings
(Mitchell) is very athletic, so she can play multiple positions. She swings a powerful bat.
bit division incentive players prove softball
Hopefully, that will give our players a little bit of incentive to prove to their fans, their friends, that this is Division I softball and we're much better than what we have been.
good hitters
You know, it's one of those things where you tell your hitters to have good at-bats. It all comes down to accountability and being responsible for your at-bats.
beat errors expect focus small teams weekend
We can't have small errors like we did this weekend and expect to beat some of the teams this weekend. We need to focus on execution.
case fairly team teams
Usually the case of teams that are fairly similar, one team is going to let up mentally.
base ended good runners scoring
We ended on a very good note. What it comes down to is scoring the runners on base and (on Sunday) we did that.
doubt means
We are going to have to manufacture runs, no doubt. And that means a lot more bunting and such.
