Emily Martin Good Quotations

I don't know if the school has ever had a girl hit the ball like Jamie is hitting it this season. We've had some good hitters. But right now, I'd have to put Jamie at the top of the list.

The condition of sleep is profoundly contradictory. It is a precious good... but it is a good like none other, because to obtain it, one must seemingly give up the imperative to have it.

Once we figured out where the game was and what time it was going to start, we did a pretty good job. But it was kind of weird at the start. I'm just glad we found out about the change on time.

The bottom of the order really came through for us today. When your last three hitters get seven hits, it should be a good day. Plus, we finished with 14 hits for the game. That should be more than enough to beat just about any team.

It's always a little more special to win a close game like this with a run in the bottom of the seventh. I had a lot of confidence in the kids we had coming to the plate. Courtney Smith is only a sophomore, but she can hit. I had a good idea she'd come through for us.

Heidi pitched a good game for us. We made two errors but they didn't hurt us. We made the plays behind her when we had to.

This conference race is going to go down to the final game. In my years here, the league has never had this much balance. A lot of teams are capable of winning on any day. We're in a good position but we're going to have to keep playing like this to stay in the lead.

We're off to a good start, and certainly Jamie is a big reason for that. But we've got a lot of girls playing well. Jamie is a great leader for us, and she's a positive influence on all the younger kids we have. A coach couldn't ask for a better kid to be on their team.

I thought, by the end of the game, we were swinging the bats as good as we have all year. And considering we just came back from spring break, that's a good sign.
