10 Quotes by Carolyn Eckhardt

So far we're playing pretty well. We knew that our offense was going to be able to produce runs and our defense has been very solid the last couple of years. The big surprise has been the pitching. We have two freshmen who have done outstanding work.

She has been great for our program over the years. She does everything well. She is the kind of player every coach dreams about having on their team.

She is a key loss, no doubt. But we have a very talented and deep squad. Even with the loss of our starting pitcher, we're still going to be in good shape.

We had an outstanding season. The kids played great all season. We just came up a little short in that championship game. But with the majority of our team coming back, we should be in good shape.

With our defense, we made it clear to both of them that they?re not there to strike people out. Their job is to not give up walks and don?t put the ball down the middle of the plate. They can strike people out, but we don?t want to put that kind of pressure on them. Right now, we have enough to win the game without them striking people out.

We are very solid defensively. This team can make plays. It is one of our strengths.

Both have been great. They're still learning and developing the mental side of the game. We want them to be as tough mentally as they can possibly be. We face a lot of tough opponents. They need to be ready.

They're both young and talented. We have a lot of confidence in them. They have done a great job so far.

That is a lot of hitting right there. We have girls with plenty of experience of batting in clutch situations. We need to keep applying pressure to other teams.
