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.
gone kids special stuck together worked
This is so special for these kids because of everything they've gone through this season. They've stuck together and worked hard, and they've believed. I don't know how they did it, but they did.
game kids proud somehow
I'm so proud of the kids for their effort. They didn't quit. I told them that the game wasn't over, that we just had to go out and do it. And somehow they did.
kids quit stuck
The kids stuck to it and didn't quit on me. That's the most important part.
expect good injuries kids run stuck
These kids have been through a lot between the injuries and the disciplinary actions. But they've stuck together. I expect them to make a good run in the postseason.
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.
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.
