That was a great first day of SEC play. The key now will be to keep it up Sunday and close out the series with a sweep of Kentucky. That will be a challenge against a hungry Wildcat club.

against bats dangerous florida forward game great hot start
This was a great way to start out the tournament. Our bats were hot and Holly used that to her advantage. Now we look forward to our game against Florida Atlantic, which is a very dangerous team. We will need to be focused.
herself
Holly was big. She was in the pen, and I told her to get herself right physically, get herself right mentally, and she did. She did that very well.
early impressed shame thrown tomorrow victory win
Holly pitched well again. It's a shame we couldn't get the victory for her tonight. We'll have to go out and get a win in Pensacola tomorrow night. I'm really impressed with the way Holly has thrown this early in the season.
breathing came few gave great offense worked
Holly pitched a great game. She got into a few jams, but worked her way out of it and got the win. Our offense really came through early, which gave her some breathing room.
game picked stronger
Holly got much stronger as the game went on. Like Beth, she picked her corners, but also overpowered her batters at times.
basically close hometown nice proud tradition
Basically we started a tradition where we get as close to a hometown as we can. It was nice for Holly. ... I'm real proud of her, real happy.
agree call kids led pump trying
I didn't agree with the call at all. I disagreed, and I'd had enough of it, and one thing led to another. I wasn't trying to pump my kids up. I just disagreed with it.

You have to win games like these. It's important to start the season on the right foot. There will be high scoring games like these in the future and we proved we have the ability to come back.
behind defense early great helped hitting job played
We got that early lead, and that really helped Beth. She did a great job of hitting the corners, and we played great defense behind her.
behind came few florida helped offense ultimately
Beth was a little off the plate, but that ultimately helped her keep the Florida batters off balance. She got behind a few batters, but battled, and the offense came through in the end.
allowed controlled corner found game kept key stuck threw tight walked
Beth threw a controlled game today, which allowed for those 10 strikeouts. She found the corner and stuck with it and kept those batters off balance. She walked just two, which was real key in a tight game like that.
