I am pleased with the way we have started the season. It is always a good feeling to put up some wins, however, we are not satisfied. Now, we have to focus on conference play and beating teams three times in a series.
Sarah has really been key for our overall success. She is throwing the ball very well and has been very consistent on the mound.
Things are falling into place and we're finding ways to win. There weren't really any big stars, so to speak, because everyone was stepping up when we needed them.
It's always nice to get a game in mid-week because it enables us to stay fresh and not plug away at practice situations. Playing at home is key since we have some series at the end of the year that gives us home-field advantage.
Cheney has really stepped up for us offensively. She seems extremely confident up at the plate and if she can continue that trend in conference we should be successful.
Our first objective is to win every conference series this year and we just wanted to stay on top of other teams. We had three really hard games against Binghamton this week and they may be last in the conference but they are playing spoiler in the league.
We had a lot of success with the suicide squeeze this weekend, and that was great because we haven't been doing it that much.
We've had a very good start to our season. We've played 27 games in a short amount of time and I think that was a bit long for what we have in terms of a team. I was very impressed.
If we're up by a couple of runs, our kids are going to show you what our bats can do. If our backs are against the wall, it's get kids on base and show what we can do to steal bases and put the ball in play.
She's shown us through the last six months that she can play. She can do it all. She's quick on the bases, she a smart hitter and a talented infielder.
