ball played small
We played a lot of small ball in the first game.
advantage giving high laid mistake pitches taking
We laid off some of the high stuff. And I think the thing we weren't doing early, she was giving mistake pitches but we weren't taking advantage of it. Then we started taking advantage of her mistakes, and that was really the difference.
both definitely feared felt good hitter physically seemed together year
We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.
ball four games host major net safety step today took work
We took a real major step today (toward) being able to host the playoffs. We've still got four ball games to go, but we have a little more of a safety net to work with now.
circumstance played teams tough ways
We really were under the weather. We persevered through some tough circumstances and played well. That's what championship teams do -- find ways to win.
coming decent hitting season
We got some pretty decent hitting and were also able to manufacture some runs. They were 8-0 on the season coming in.
early hat kids runners setting tent tip
We had the kids up that we wanted with runners on base, and we just didn't execute. But you tip your hat to them. They could've folded the tent when Jaclyn was setting some down early in the game. They didn't.
ask coming fact kept relish
We couldn't ask for a better start. They kept coming at us, and they will be right there at the end (of the season), we know that. But for one night, we can relish the fact that we're in first place. And they're not.
behind both caught dugout kick sick third
KB battled for us behind plate. She caught both games; she was pretty sick. Luciano was really sick out in the field, and our third catcher, we had to kick her out of the dugout she was so sick.
crowd handled learning nor people players sure tough
It was a tough crowd today. They had a lot of people there. I'm not sure she nor some of our other players handled it as well as they could have. So it was a learning experience.
impact second
Connors, what an impact she's had on us. And the second pitch, she drilled it over the fence.
bomb came found hit kid third
Their kid hit a bomb to go up 1-0, and we came a little unraveled in the third inning. We made some errors. Then we found a way to get going offensively.
