A real big day. We played really well. I'm real proud of the kids. The second game, they showed a lot of perseverance coming from behind.
We had the kids up that we wanted with runners on base, and we just didn't execute. But you tip your hat to them. They could've folded the tent when Jaclyn was setting some down early in the game. They didn't.
We took a real major step today (toward) being able to host the playoffs. We've still got four ball games to go, but we have a little more of a safety net to work with now.
We really were under the weather. We persevered through some tough circumstances and played well. That's what championship teams do -- find ways to win.
KB battled for us behind plate. She caught both games; she was pretty sick. Luciano was really sick out in the field, and our third catcher, we had to kick her out of the dugout she was so sick.
We couldn't ask for a better start. They kept coming at us, and they will be right there at the end (of the season), we know that. But for one night, we can relish the fact that we're in first place. And they're not.
Marietta is a good team. They finished 9-1 on their trip and will probably be in the top 25 in the next poll.
We played a lot of small ball in the first game.
I think if you combined all the home runs we hit in the last seven years, I don't think it would be as many as we've hit this year.
Their kid hit a bomb to go up 1-0, and we came a little unraveled in the third inning. We made some errors. Then we found a way to get going offensively.
