She (Ronk) had lots of endurance tonight. I think she's a great leader. I think she knew she was going to get it done. There was no way I was taking her off the mound tonight.

You never know what's up his sleeve when you play Chuck (Huggins). He's a great coach and it was a great game.

Expectations are high for another strong, successful season.

We need to focus on the one game at a time philosophy. We have a very tough league schedule and that will prepare us for the tournament.

She (Ronk) is doing the job. She's throwing hard.

The key was getting the lead-off runner on base. And then knowing we had to move the runners. They looked at me to call it (the bunt off), but I wouldn't call it off.

Tough game, two nights in a row. We're up against a brick wall, that's what the girls are thinking.
