defensive effort intensity proud
I thought our defensive intensity was very good, especially in the first half. I was really proud of our defensive effort tonight.
effort four good kids pleased
I was pleased with the kids effort tonight. We were good defensively all four quarters, which is what we need.
capable changes fine good job point running second
I think Eryn did a good job in the second half. We'll be just fine once we get used to the changes we have to make. Eryn is capable of running the point and will do a good job for us.
comeback foul good help middle shots sure
That didn't help. We were in the middle of a comeback and that foul sure didn't help things. But we got good shots after that, they just didn't go in.
base deserve fence few left runners win wind
When you don't have a fence out there and the wind blowing, that's what happens. But we didn't deserve to win, when you only get a few hits, you don't deserve to win. We left too many runners on base to win this one.
best couple good overall since start
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.
gave giving taking time waiting
We were waiting to see what they were going to do, and this time they gave us the inside. We were just taking what they were giving us.
good half shooting tough
We had a tough first half shooting and we had some good looks. They just wouldn't fall.
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.
break capable open until
We had so many opportunities and we just didn't break it open like we're capable of doing until the seventh.
ball drive innings miss offense three
She got a ball to drive and she didn't miss it. Our offense comes in spurts, we did nothing for the first three innings and then exploded.
almost ball caught dive hard hustling taught
She almost caught that ball. But we're taught not to dive down the line, especially in that situation. But that's hard to do. When you're taught to always go-go, it's hard to see the ball and think you can make a play on it and not try it. She was just hustling and being aggressive.
ball fence good happens hit swing
She put a good swing on it and that's what happens when there's no fence out there. She hit the ball hard.
ball hit needed somebody step
She hit the ball hard. With Sophie (Berman) out of the lineup today, we needed somebody to step up and Kelsey did that.
