We played with the intensity I wished we had played with all year. I did not enjoy losing (Thursday), but for the first time, it meant something to everybody. That was the best we played all year and did not win.

A lot of times at practice I can't put pressure on them to do their best all the time. So we run to get them (to work) harder in practice. I found out if I could get them to do that during the games, it puts pressure on them to produce and work hard the entire time.

I told her that's probably the best game she's pitched, especially with what was on the line (Wednesday). There was plenty of pressure on her (Wednesday), and she stepped up.

They will be well-prepared. Whoever executes the best will probably end up winning the game.
