We didn't play well. We can't allow the ball to drop out there; we needed timely hitting and good defense, and we didn't get it.

Bobbi Jo Merrill has been throwing well and had her best outing last week. Corie Jensen has put in some good innings, and Amy Sauer will be just fine. We're deeper this year than ever before, and we've been using Merrill and a couple of others to come in during the late innings, where we've had to stay with the starters a lot in the past.

We had 10 hits to their six in the second game, and there's no reason we should end up with a score like that with those numbers. We can't expect our pitching to carry us through these games with the support they got.

These are the kids I'm going to depend on to win the conference, and, whether we're up or down, we're going with those kids. The way they came out in that last game after trailing so far - I think that says a lot about our confidence right now and the team's attitude.

We'll be focusing on holding them to three runs or less, and our pitching has been strong enough to do that.

Offensively I was proud of the girls, as well as the pitching staff goes. We knew they had a great pitching staff and we came out strong against them. We don't have just a couple of kids we count on; everyone can contribute. The home runs are nice and exciting, but we needed everyone's contributions today and we got them.

The biggest key for us was being able to come back when we were behind, and not becoming comfortable once we got ahead. We took advantage of our chances and we answered back every time we needed to all weekend.

It was a slow day for us offensively. A split isn't what we came up here for, but it's better than (getting swept).

126

The second game was a lot better. We got a lot better at our offense, attacking the ball and letting it come to our plate.
