She doesn't seem like she's real comfortable and I think part of that is that she's never had to pitch so much. She's put so much effort physically into pitching that something has to give.

We won a game once and we ran 18. We lost a game against Saint Pete Catholic and we ran two.

She never really had a chance to hit a whole lot because she was struggling defensively. But the last couple games, she's shown that defensively she needs to be in there.

We played with the intensity I wished we had played with all year. I did not enjoy losing (Thursday), but for the first time, it meant something to everybody. That was the best we played all year and did not win.

In the past, I think sometimes not taking a break hurts you because we spend a lot of time together for three months. It worked (Tuesday night), so right now it was a good idea.

I like to feel like your job is on the line every night you show up here. So, I would never say it was written in stone. But I'm comfortable about the way we played the last two nights.

This was probably one of her top two or three games (Thursday).

That might be the best overall game Ashley has pitched. She didn't walk any batters and we played well defensively.

A lot of times at practice I can't put pressure on them to do their best all the time. So we run to get them (to work) harder in practice. I found out if I could get them to do that during the games, it puts pressure on them to produce and work hard the entire time.
