audrey cost error instead pitcher rough three
Audrey (starting pitcher Decker) had a a rough start. She should have been down 1-0 instead of 4-0 at the end of the second. An error cost us three runs.
bottom errors extra game learn teams until
It was a back-and-forth game until the bottom of the sixth. We started off with two fielding errors and they had a bases-loaded double. We have to learn not to give teams extra outs.
enjoy hard team
One thing I enjoy about this team is they play hard and never quit.
carry gets senior team
She gets better every outing. That's what a senior does. Sometimes they have to take the team on their back and carry them.
days goes ladies respond teams
Days like this happen. Teams have days where nothing goes right. It's how you respond to them. I told the ladies I was disappointed for them and not at them.
added biggest competition concerns depth fill harder hurts knows lack last small teams
Depth was one of our biggest concerns last year. We only had 13 players, so we really added to our depth. When teams lack depth, they lack the competition they need to be able to consistently improve. That's one of the things that hurts teams when they have a small roster. Everyone knows they're going to have to play. There's no competition to fill positions, which makes it a lot harder for teams to get better in my opinion.
ran
Lisa (pitcher Koehler) ran out of gas. We got a little tired.
bad excited facing good horrible learn work
They are very good and very well-coached. We're excited (about facing them again). We'll do some different things defensively and work on our mentality. If we can learn from this, it wasn't a bad day. If we don't, then it was a horrible day.
ball hit sioux
It was a pitcher's duel. We hit the ball really hard, but right at Sioux Falls.
errors good improving mentality weekend
Now our errors are not killing us. Our mentality is improving too. It was a good weekend for us.
bat defense great playing swinging
She had a great at-bat. She's swinging the bat well and playing great defense for us as well.
against amount awful coach division fortunate great northern opened opportunity position respect tremendous
I've always wanted to be here. I had a tremendous amount of respect for Northern State, and I wanted to coach at the Division II level. I have nothing against the NAIA, I just want to be a Division II coach. So when the position opened up, I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to be here. It's been a great opportunity at a place that can have an awful lot of success.
changes error fell game gas ran walk wheels
They had one big inning. We had a walk and an error and the wheels fell off for us. It was a 4-3 game at that point. Christi ran out of gas a little. Take away the walk and the error and that changes everything.
late matter team
This was just a really well-played game. It was just a matter of which team would get the late break.
