This was definitely a tough one to lose. It was a well-played game and Martins Ferry deserves all of the credit because they hit the ball, it wasn't like we booted it around.

I am proud of all of my kids. This was a heck of a softball game, and give St. C. credit because they are much improved from when we played them early in the season, but I am happy with how we fought back twice.

You have to credit (Martins Ferry) hitters. Katy pitched six strong innings, but it's a seventh inning game. She's still young and she'll be back, and we'll be back.

There was no stopping on that hit. (Annie) was going to do one of three things: die of exhaustion, get thrown out or score. There was no question I was going to send her.
