Mike Clamon Quotations

She's so smooth on the mound - that's what I saw in her first start that caught my attention. Nothing bothers her when she pitches.

She's pitching good, and basically, she keeps us in ball games. It's just kind of how it has worked out. Our senior lefty got hurt, and Kelly came in and just got better and better.

I was scared coming in here, because I thought Durant had a good team and they do. I thought it would be a high-scoring game, but I didn't expect them to make so many errors. I am not complaining though, I will take a win over them any time.

I would have felt better if our girls had scored more runs after the third inning, but it turns out they didn't need to. This will help us enter the district tournament next week on the upbeat. I really wasn't sure it would go our way, but I am glad it did.

I don't know what it was, we were just not making contact at the plate. We haven't seen anyone throw this hard this season and she is quick to the plate.

If we nickel-and-dime a couple of runs, we had a chance, because we played them even after the first inning. But we had a tough two-game stretch and got a split with Durant and Chamberlain, so I'm not upset at all.

I think the home-plate umpire made a bad call on the balk because the batter had asked for time. And I think that threw Kristen off because she had just given up back-to-back doubles and she didn't need anymore problems.

We said it before the season that this district was even. Whoever scores the most runs is going to win and this is a perfect example. We scored the most runs.

This was a great win for us. East Bay is a quality team and Glenn (Rodriguez) always has a strong hitting team, so for Kristen to hold them to five hits is very good pitching. Our defense also did great to back her up in the field.

I told the team we needed to come out and play a good game. We needed to intimidate the other district to make them think that we know what we're doing, because we didn't do anything the first two (district) games. We were lucky we won both.

The big inning was nice because we had been popping the ball up for two innings. Then we started to get on top of the ball, we scored some runs and everyone started to settle down.

Things definitely started to unravel in the sixth inning. We made a couple of mental mistakes on a couple of plays, but they played hard and you can't fault anyone.

I loved that we got the lead for a change. I think that set the tone because we had given up early runs to the other team so that was good for us to get on top early.
