One of the things that we're trying to do is use our speed. The girls are more skilled with the bat so we're willing to take more gambles that may seem unconventional. I mean who in their right mind is going to bunt their No. 4 hitter in the first inning of the first game? We did.
Lauren has really burst on the scene in the county. I've been around fast-pitch softball for a long time, and I haven't seen a freshman come in and do what she's doing this fast.
We're trying to mix pitches up a little more going towards the tournaments. It's all part of a progression for Lauren.
This game is pretty much what we've been trying to establish all year. We kept the pressure on them most innings, and we had some timely hits to score runs.
