Holly continues to have quality starts and that home run is a huge confidence boost. She hadn't hit one for awhile, even though she's been hitting the ball hard.

Beth had a great game from the circle. She was commanding, and the only real solid hit against her was the single in the eighth.

Beth threw well again tonight. It's continuing a trend for Beth this season. She's hitting her spots and limiting her walks, which is keeping opposing batters from focusing on a certain pitch. She's handling herself very well.

Our offense, for the second day in a row, really saw the bell well. Our middle of the order is really producing early on in the season.

This was a great way to start out the tournament. Our bats were hot and Holly used that to her advantage. Now we look forward to our game against Florida Atlantic, which is a very dangerous team. We will need to be focused.

Holly got much stronger as the game went on. Like Beth, she picked her corners, but also overpowered her batters at times.

Tat saw the ball well tonight. She provided the offense at the right time and played well defensively. She's continuing to mature.

There's really no words to describe what Holly did today. She had perfect control, save for that first at bat, and made Mercer swing the bat. It's a really great feat to get 15 outs by strikeout.

Beth threw a controlled game today, which allowed for those 10 strikeouts. She found the corner and stuck with it and kept those batters off balance. She walked just two, which was real key in a tight game like that.
