When you swing the bats like that, you're going to be pretty tough to beat. It was a good day. The hitters did a good job. It wasn't like their pitchers were slopping it up there.
When you can score early, it takes away the pressure. We just went up there and got good pitches to hit and put good swings on them.
Groff kept making good pitches to get out of jams, and we made some good defensive plays to help her out. She's the kind of a pitcher who can get herself out of a jam with one pitch because she gets so many ground balls, and we're going to turn two when you hit one at somebody.
We played pretty well against some good competition. I'm satisfied with our performance.
We did some good things, particularly offensively. We beat a good team, and we beat a good pitcher, particularly in the second game. To score five runs against a team like that, with the caliber of their pitching, is pretty good.
We didn't do a good job of making adjustments at the plate.
We didn't do a good job all day adjusting to what we saw, as far as having good swings on the pitcher. We were swinging at bad pitches and taking good pitches.
The first game, (Phoenix) had all the chances and didn't take advantage, and we got the clutch hits. It's good to play tight games, and obviously it's better to win them, but it's tough to beat a quality team when you give up that many chances.
