17 Quotes by Lori Alexander

She's going to be vital to us. She kept us in games last year, and she should have had more wins. But we just couldn't give it to her. Our problem was that we couldn't put the nail in the coffin because we couldn't score enough runs.

I felt like we should have won it the first time.

Hayley had two strikes on her, and I told her she needed to just center up. And she ended up with a double.

Her hitting was her nemesis last year, but she still got to play good defense for us. She's gotten stronger, though, and she's been hitting in the No. 3 spot during the scrimmages. I'm hoping that she'll be a surprise with her bat.

We needed this win after we fell apart against Flower Mound.

We gave them two runs that we shouldn't have. We came back and put the ball in play. And our short-ball players did their job. But the big stick players did nothing.

We're going to be a team that's going to surprise some people. Our hitting is coming around. We worked hard in the off-season to get strong and have faster bat speed. And so far, it looks like we have more pop in the bat this year.

We didn't hit as well, but then again the weather changed a lot from our 3 p.m. game to our 7:30 p.m. game. We still executed well by putting the bunt down and moving runners over. So that's getting better. And our defense played well behind Erica. So hopefully those will carry over.

I've seen a lot of bright spots this season. But when we execute, we can beat anyone. We could push the bunt down exactly where we wanted to, and this was just total execution.
