We played a lot of small ball in the first game.
Marietta is a good team. They finished 9-1 on their trip and will probably be in the top 25 in the next poll.
I think we just get into a habit of watching Jaclyn when she starts dominating. And we have to deal with that. We still have to be able to play defense. We need to do a better job of defending the push bunt because they burned us on that a couple times.
I think if you combined all the home runs we hit in the last seven years, I don't think it would be as many as we've hit this year.
We couldn't ask for a better start. They kept coming at us, and they will be right there at the end (of the season), we know that. But for one night, we can relish the fact that we're in first place. And they're not.
We had the kids up that we wanted with runners on base, and we just didn't execute. But you tip your hat to them. They could've folded the tent when Jaclyn was setting some down early in the game. They didn't.
Connors, what an impact she's had on us. And the second pitch, she drilled it over the fence.
We've always felt Heidi was a real good hitter, and she's definitely a feared hitter in the conference, but it just seemed like she just wasn't able to put it together for long stretches. And this year she's just been in a really good place, I think, both physically and mentally.
A real big day. We played really well. I'm real proud of the kids. The second game, they showed a lot of perseverance coming from behind.
