The first game was the way I wanted it played. It's what we've been working on, and I praised them for it. We won a mental battle.

You could start for two or three games, and then not play any. Being such a young team, I've told them from the get-go that it's going to be all about our chemistry on the field.

We kind of ran out of arms. It seemed like we just laid down and let them walk right over us.

We knew it was going to be a building season, and we're growing. We're dealing with what we can now and building for later on, and these girls are building and learning.

We were doing good until the sixth inning, and then it seems like we just lost focus. It seemed like we had no idea what to do with the ball.

We put the ball in play. That's all I've been asking the girls to do. The past few games, we haven't put the ball in play.

We left a lot of runners stranded. We just didn't capitalize when we had the chance.

We played pretty well tonight. I was proud of our performance, and we were threatening.

I feel more comfortable because I've been able to talk to them more about what I expect.

I wish I could of had her batting for everybody.
