Yesterday, I could feel it in my chest. I had to remind myself to breathe. As I loosened up, the team loosened up. There's pressure on me and there's pressure on the kids. If you use it as a positive thing, pressure can be a good thing.

It was one of things where that position needed to be filled, and we decided to go with one of the best athletes. It's going to take a little bit of work, but she's going to be a fine one.

I think we were a little shaky at first. This was our first away game, and I think we were a little slow getting off the bus, but by the third or fourth inning we woke up and started putting the ball in play.

And, don't think I don't sneak over the baseball field every once in a while to see Chad.

Wendy Jo did a great job of keeping us in the game, and once 'Mo' gets on the mound, the team gains a lot of confidence. Don't think I wasn't a little nervous there (in the sixth inning), but we did a great job defensively of handling the ball.
