ahead ball great hitters job pitchers putting
Our pitchers are doing a great job for us right now. They are getting ahead of the hitters and are putting the ball in play for our fielders to make plays.
ball game handled helped pitching sam stretch
When Leah got hurt, Sam was kind of our only pitcher. She went through a stretch where she had the ball every game and she handled that very well. And once they started pitching in tandem, it helped us a lot.
ball came hitting needed score second slow
We did what we needed to do. We came out a little slow offensively in the first game. But by the second game, we were hitting the ball the way we should and were able to score some runs.
address ball hit next team ways
We didn't hit the ball well, there's no two ways about it. And that's something that we'll need to address as a team next season.
ahead ball behind best count defense plays putting sam throwing
Sam pitched very well today. She's at her best when she is throwing strikes, getting ahead in the count and putting the ball in play so the defense can make plays behind her. She did all those things today.
ball bounce katie nice
That's something you don't see very often. It was nice to see Katie get a nice bounce and have the ball go over.
ball believed heading hit mistakes needed nice obviously ourselves pair plays second stuck until wins
The first game, we obviously hit the ball very well. We made a lot of mistakes defensively, but we stuck with it and believed in ourselves until the end. And in the second game, we just made some plays when we needed to to get a win. It's a nice pair of wins heading into the weekend.
ball chance change compete fall forced injuries lost ourselves players proud season unusual year
It was kind of an unusual year. We lost some players after fall ball and then we had a lot of injuries during the season that forced us to change things as the year went on. But the most important thing for us was that we were still able to compete and give ourselves a chance to win. And I'm phenomenally proud about that.
ball cut errors game hit mental physical playing second struggling
We hit the ball better (the second game). We're struggling playing defense. In the first game we had mental errors. In the second game we had physical errors, but we cut down on the mental errors. With enough repetitions, the physical errors should go down.
across played push
We played real well defensively. Unfortunately we couldn't push across any runs.
fourth games good looking lost pull results three
We had many good things this weekend, but the results weren't what we were looking for. We had three games that we lost by one run, and in the fourth one, we had a lead. It's disappointing we couldn't pull out a win.
business came couple good pitchers strikes threw took
Our pitchers came out and threw a couple of good games. They threw strikes and took (care) of business out there.
freshman good hitter katie potential tremendous
Katie had a tremendous freshman season. She's a very good hitter and has a lot of potential.
advantage battle break caught final until
We kind of caught a break there. But we were able to take advantage of that. We always battle until the final out.
