I think that (the third inning) turned the tide for this team - because there was a different look in their face when they came off the field - because they don't like to play poor defense. It was the spark that we needed.

It will be a disappointment not to get to that state tournament for sure (the final four). I want this team to go further than they did last year.

She has an arsenal of pitches that she and our pitching coach use freely. They do a good job analyzing the weaknesses of hitters on other teams, and she has the pitches that allow us to do that.
