29 Quotes by Terri Holmes

Days like this happen. Teams have days where nothing goes right. It's how you respond to them. I told the ladies I was disappointed for them and not at them.

Audrey (starting pitcher Decker) had a a rough start. She should have been down 1-0 instead of 4-0 at the end of the second. An error cost us three runs.

They had one big inning. We had a walk and an error and the wheels fell off for us. It was a 4-3 game at that point. Christi ran out of gas a little. Take away the walk and the error and that changes everything.

It was a well-played game by both teams. We happened to put something together at the right time.

Depth was one of our biggest concerns last year. We only had 13 players, so we really added to our depth. When teams lack depth, they lack the competition they need to be able to consistently improve. That's one of the things that hurts teams when they have a small roster. Everyone knows they're going to have to play. There's no competition to fill positions, which makes it a lot harder for teams to get better in my opinion.

It was a pitcher's duel. We hit the ball really hard, but right at Sioux Falls.

It was kind of a tale of two games. In game one, we dominated and controlled things offensively and defensively and played with a high level of energy. In game two, we got caught flat-footed a little bit.

It was a back-and-forth game until the bottom of the sixth. We started off with two fielding errors and they had a bases-loaded double. We have to learn not to give teams extra outs.

They are very good and very well-coached. We're excited (about facing them again). We'll do some different things defensively and work on our mentality. If we can learn from this, it wasn't a bad day. If we don't, then it was a horrible day.
