It was nice to see some sun. I have no doubts that better weather will be just the tonic for this offense. We moved the ball well and our execution overall was good. Better weather makes everyone looser.

We had passed balls and wild pitches and that was another momentum shift. In that sense, we helped them move into scoring position.

We didn't put enough pressure on their defense.

The four runs made it easy for Kelly the rest of the way. Kelly had her good stuff today. She struck out 11 earlier this year, but I believe this was her best performance overall.

We couldn't get the bunt down and then Brittany had two strikes and hit the ball hard, but it ended up being a double play. That was one of the game's momentum shifts.

Many of them play on the same travel teams and know each other well.

Our defense and pitching was where we needed it to be.

I think anytime you play at that level, it's going to carry over. Along with Angela and Kelly, you know, we have eight seniors who have experienced that and nine kids who haven't. They will be able to share that experience and help them realize what it will take to get back to that point.

We hit the ball well, but scattered them around too much. We never could bunch them together enough. Kelly pitched very well.
