Kim Pfeifer Quotations

We worked on molding a lot of young players to play together as a team and the only way to do that is to hit the field and get in as much playing time as we can.

Defensively, we're pretty much on track and I'm pleased the way our fielding has come together, but offensively, we still have work to do. We have to produce enough runs to win games by focusing on our hitting, which just isn't where it needs to be right now.

Ashley is a good control pitcher who throws the ball hard and really adds up the strikeouts. She is also aggressive at the plate.

She brought some heat today. She kept us off the bases. We just couldn't get on base. We were focused, and defensively, we were pretty solid. We had that one inning, but up to that point, we were playing solid defense.

We're pretty solid defensively on the right side since that area is senior dominated. Anna at shortstop has a pretty good glove with quick hands and good range, so we're solid defensively up the middle as well.

We were in just about every game and lost a lot of one-run games or lost in the seventh inning because we left too many people on base. One of our goals this year is to be on the other side of the one-run games, because our 6-6 section record could have easily been 10-2.

We have three infielders and a pitcher who have experience, but the rest of the team are all inexperienced. We have a great group of hard-working girls who are hungry to fill so many open positions and the competition has been great, so in that sense, youth has worked to our advantage.
