The past two games we've been a team funk. We just came alive in that first inning (Tuesday).
I tell the girls every year if you hit, we'll win games. As a team right now, we're not hitting. That was obvious with only two hits three times through the lineup.
I can tell you that those who played on the team last year, they want more. They still talk about that playoff game. They say that that won't happen this year.
They laid down the bunt and we had a miscommunication on our defense. We haven't played like that all year. They are a hitting team but they will lay down the bunt with runners on base.
It took us a while to get her timing. You could see the team was working it out, and the second time up they were a lot more confident.
We are ready. I think that most of the players realized, right after that playoff game, that they were going to have to work harder than they did last year. The team has been running, lifting, hitting and working out every day. I'm very excited about the season.
This was a good win for us after starting 1-2 in district. We were in a bit of a team slump at that time, but the players have worked their way through it and we're getting better.
