boards credit game good great played quit shots
Credit Tammy and those Alton kids. They played a great game and had a great game plan. We had some good shots and couldn't get them to go down tonight, but we didn't quit and Anya on the boards was huge.
everybody great holding needed position post
She's been doing a great job. I can't say enough for her holding that post position down with everybody out. That's what we've needed her to do and that's what she's done.
kids quit stuck
The kids stuck to it and didn't quit on me. That's the most important part.

There's always one (tough game) in there. (Bethalto) turned in a great effort. They have to be proud of their effort.

They're a very good basketball team. We didn't play our best game tonight and they did. So the credit goes to them.
break hands saying
Everybody's been saying how we got a break going north. Well, if that's a break, it's the first one we've had all year. But I don't necessarily think it's a break. We're going to have our hands full.

She's a strikeout pitcher and knows how to locate her pitches. She's not playing like a freshman right now, she's hitting her spots and moving the ball around.

Syd was great today. She moved the ball around, she changed speeds, she kept them off-balance and threw a great game.

Defensively, we are staying in the game. We had the one bad game where they pulled two gap shots on us and got two runs.

We had so many opportunities and we just didn't break it open like we're capable of doing until the seventh.
everybody game girls hit later position pushing runners scoring timely
We got some timely hitting. Everybody that got a hit later in the game did it with someone on base. We have to keep pushing with those runners in scoring position and the girls did that today.

We had a couple of lapses today, but overall it was another pretty good day. The is the best start we've had since I've been here.

We had a tough first half shooting and we had some good looks. They just wouldn't fall.
beginning defense good pitching staff
The pitching and defense have been very good all season. We thought at the beginning that we would have a good pitching staff and good defense and they've done very well so far.
