Ashley did just what a senior pitcher needs to do in a pressure situation. We needed one out and she came in and gave it to us.

Nicole did a nice job at the plate today. She came up with clutch hits when we needed them.

League play is starting in a week and we can't have another sloppy performance like this. Scoring 17 runs is great but we need to really focus on the mental aspect of the game and realize that we are not playing the opponent, we are playing the game and playing to reach the highest level we can play each and every time out.

We played today exactly like we practiced yesterday and we can't get away with playing at anything other than the top of our game the next three games. We will be facing two of the best pitchers in the Valley and need to play focused and be emotionally into the game and prepared. When we play focused and disciplined, we can beat anyone.

Vanessa pitched a solid game using a good curve and did a good job moving the ball in and out.

It was a calamity of errors on plays that you have to make. I am embarrassed at how we played and our lack of fire when we got down early. We are a much better team than we showed today and will demonstrate that when we play them again next week in our league opener.

Vanessa pitched a pretty good game and was strong at times and a little shaky at times. But it's tough on a young pitcher when you are close to closing out a game and then there are errors behind you at critical situations.

It's kind of like a double-edged sword. We only scored one run but at the same time pitched really well and played solid enough defense to only give up one run.

When Jody does her job and gets on base, good things happen for us.
