This was the first game we really executed defensively. We also had some timely hits late in the game and scored a couple of more runs when we needed it.

We're a young team and there are only 12 girls on the roster. We're learning on the field and off and we're going to make young mistakes.

I've always been a defensively-minded coach and we aren't going to get any better than we are right now. So now the focus is on scoring runs. As I told the girls, today was a good day for us because we played well. We're attacking each team with the idea that we can win at least one.
