I'm really looking for a big year from Brianna (Venable). Her swing has really improved over the past year, and I think she capable of having a better year than she has had since she's been here, and she had a good career here so far.

More Jim Perrin on Wikipedia.We played a lot of people today. We got to see what some of the younger kids could do in a game situation and see how far along they were.
In one way I'm glad we're starting to swing the bats better and getting runners on base. Now it's the timely hits we need to get. Once we start getting those to sneak through or fall in we'll be fine.
I think the freshmen got a wake-up call. They were both excellent high school pitchers and I think will be good college pitchers down the road, but they saw today that one through nine in a lineup can hit at Division I.
It was good to get two wins, no matter how they wound up looking like at the end. We've had a string of games where we've just not gotten the breaks at key times, like the other teams has, so tonight it was good to come away with two wins.
Evansville is one of the better teams we've faced this season. We knew coming in that Evansville would come out hitting the ball, and Natasha (Anderson) just didn't have her stuff working for her today. With those two combined it made for a long day.
I thought we played pretty well. We had a lot of players rise to the occasion and I thought both pitchers threw well today.
That was a big play for us. They had the momentum going their way and the double play swung it back in our direction. It was a real turning point in the game.
We're just having a snake-bit year. We hit the ball hard, but it's right at them or they make a great defensive play. You can't do anything about that, but I am concerned about the number of runners we're leaving on base.
