We're notorious this year for waiting until the end of games. In the seventh inning, the girls were determined she (Falcone) wasn't going to get them again.

Top half of the first inning of this game.
Bernard Rimland
I am proud of the way we fought back - no doubt about it. We hit the ball well enough to have 13, 14 hits. They just weren't finding the holes at the time until we got a little something going in the last inning.
Charlie Smythers
They had a ball that hit the base, and we didn't. We're out of that inning, and it's a 2-2 game if that doesn't happen. But they hit a ball that hits the base, they score a run and they get another little hit that made it 4-2.
Jay Novacek
They booted the ball around a lot in that first inning but we did a lot of hitting in that first game as well. We did it in spurts.
Jerry Kramer
Getting a two-spot in the first inning, that was big. We seem to be getting better and better each game (hitting the baseball).
David Mcginnis
Give them credit. They turned the double plays when they had to. We played good baseball. We just gave up too much in that first inning.
Geovany Soto
She only threw 63 pitches tonight. With so many five inning games, it's hard to get her innings.
Bill Fetters
He's touching 98 (mph) in the first inning and didn't really back off at all. Great job.
Marty Brown
We have to get rid of that one bad inning. It has happened in every game we've lost, but we've also won in spite of it.
Jay Marston
The past two games we've been a team funk. We just came alive in that first inning (Tuesday).
Stephanie Graham
The girls had a decent day hitting the ball, but they hammered it in the third inning. (St. Mary's) changed their pitcher and everything turned around from there.
Tami Hackett
That was huge. Even that inning they had an infield hit and a bunt hit. Our pitching was really good. Jose did a great job settling down.
Derek Lindauer
The kids did a great job in the final inning playing with the distraction.
Bill Womack
That sixth inning, I got the ball up a little bit and they were hitting it pretty hard.
Horacio Ramirez
It took us a little time to get rolling. But, we had a good inning and got the win.
Ray Wilson
It was a close game without that inning. We just got frustrated and weren't talking to each other.
Bill Beasley
It was a great team effort after the first inning.
Steve Carroll
It's noticeable. It's 40,000 [fans] in Boston, standing up in the first inning with two strikes.
Josh Towers
This kid did a great job. He kept the ball low and my team became very anxious after the fourth inning.
Anibal Reluz
That hurt because we could have scored at least three runs that inning, and it could have been a different game.
Bob Amalia
Day in and day out, all I can ask them to do is play well. On the days you don't play well, you hope you find a way to win. We just try to avoid giving up the big inning, which we did (against Bishop Eustace).
Joe Pavlow
You get to the ninth inning and your stomach is clear up to here. But it's not because of your job. It is because you want to win so badly.
Terry Francona
The first inning we played with a lot of confidence. That was the best hitting display we've had all season.
Kelly Helms
I made a bad pitch to Lee in the first inning, and then it started to become a struggle.
Shawn Estes
Offensively, three runs in the first inning gave us a big advantage.
Mike Dunphy
He's been able to get out of a jam but the next inning, that's it. He hasn't been able to build on that inning, gets a little sloppy and he falters.
Guy Hansen
They're a very good, disciplined team. We scratched to tie it and found a way to push one across in the last inning.
Ronnie Davis
The first inning was scary. I felt a little out of synch early.
Jaret Wright
We have a group as eclectic as any coalition anyone has ever seen. The top half of the first inning has just ended. This is where the game starts.
Matt Keller
(There were) two great pitchers on the mound, so you have to expect a 12-inning game. We're young, but we'll bounce back.
Matt Hoiles
Seems like (when) Ian (Viola) gets out of that first inning - he's been pitching real well.
Wayne Yancey
His whole career is he'll walk some guys, but he makes the big pitch to get out of the inning.
Bob Melvin
We have great guys on the team. We're in the game the first and seventh inning, but two through six we're having trouble.
Stephan Evans
It would appear as if we are in the end game for the Fed, but we think the question is whether we're in the 7th, 8th, or 9th inning.
Jason Evans
By the fourth inning, it was down to 82.
Jason Berken
I wasn't ready for another inning and a half. It was pretty brutal. There wasn't much sun, but once it got dark, it started getting really cold.
Doug Blundy
I got really mad after giving up four runs in the first inning. But coach told me to calm down, hit my spots and have fun. Then I got my focus back.
Sergio Marquez
With 65 pitches, my goal as a starter would be to get into the fifth inning. You would have to really be sharp with the command, but that would be something to shoot for.
Calvin Maduro
I haven't bunted in the sixth inning all year. Why am I going to bunt him now?
Tom Prince
The eighth inning is tough, man. Some days it can go by smoothly. But you're going to have ups and downs. Hopefully, it does go smooth.
Arthur Rhodes
Everybody was hitting the ball that inning for us.
Aaron Bender
In a game like this we didn't expect to be down. The way we answered back in the ninth inning really shows a lot about our team.
Dave Schultz
We're only in the third or fourth inning, there's still a long way to go.
Robert Toomey
It's clear to me that I have to go in there and get guys out. Regardless of what inning or what role, my job is to throw strikes and get guys out.
Josh Hancock
I'm real proud of the eighth inning after what they did in the sixth. She mowed them down.
Dale Buvid
The second inning was when we started hitting the ball hard. That one big inning certainly helped. We were hitting the ball hard. When you put the ball in play, things happen.
Mike Highfield
In the first inning we made (Highland) make plays. We were very patient and very selective after that.
Tracy Kirsch
It got us out of a big inning, and that really helped us get off to a good start on defense.
Jim Reiland
It could be anything, ... Preferably, it's a six-inning arm, but we don't know. It could be a couple of innings.
Dusty Baker
He had trouble his first inning. His second inning was terrific.
Jerry Russo
He really set the tone for us today. He struck out the side in the first inning and then hit his two-run homer in the bottom-half of the first.
Dan Dorsett
We lost runs in the first inning and had a runner on in the second.
Bill Gardner
We didn't start hitting until about the fourth inning.
Blake Yeager
It was a big inning for us. We really got our bats going.
Joe Archuleta
Maybe one inning too many for Josh.
Rob Ciarlo
There's something about this team. Our bats seem to come alive after the fifth inning. We had some timely hits that kept us in the game.
Bryant Kitty
I was real pleased with our answer to their big inning. That's the sign of a good team.
Dan Walbaum
That last inning was the best I threw all game.
Craig Brimhall
The first inning was pretty important. Maybe that got us going a bit. It was nice to see the guys put up some crooked numbers.
Brad Radke
He didn't really show any fire there. You're out there trying to give him a chance to get through the inning and finish and there was just nothing there.
Randy Knorr
It was nice to finally get a big inning. We got three big hits in that inning, and we also had some girls get on base with walks. When you get runners on base, good things can happen.
Dave Schweder
It's a big game. We have to stay focused and play one inning at a time.
Wayne Stewart
I feel confident. All season we've gone day-to-day, you forget about yesterday. Now there's no tomorrow. These guys battle all the way, you saw that in the last inning tonight.
Mark Haley
We made a run at them in the last inning. We had no one out and you have to try the squeeze again. The only thing we couldn't do was pop up and we did. But I would do it again if I had the chance.
Tony Sagely
We finally hit the ball (during the rally) and were able to score a few runs, but we can't expect to win games in the seventh inning.
Dana Fiedler
The kids hit the ball well. In the first inning, after we had two out, guys came up and had key hits. For us to be successful, we have to continue to get two-out hits.
Tom Correa
We couldn't get much going offensively, but we had one good inning where we ran the bases really well. Douglas played well enough to win, but they just couldn't get the big hit.
Dennis Evenson
It was a lot of fun. I was proud of the way we responded. Every game, we've had one bad inning and we didn't respond.
Mike Hinton
If we make some plays there, we get out of that inning and it is only 3-0.
Josh Herring
I had to battle every inning. I was going to let them put the ball in play and there were some great plays behind me.
Brandon Claussen
It was a tough loss. We let them back in the game in the seventh inning, and them we gave them too many chances. Eventually, they got us.
Karen Calabrese
We should have been hitting all night, like the way we did in the fifth inning. We've got to focus more on the mental aspects of the game.
Alan Edmondson
That's what did us in. Take that inning away, and we've got the win.
Clifford Lewis
After that last inning, the score didn't indicate how the game went.
Chuck Green
That's a big play. He keeps the ball from getting out of the infield and gives us a chance to get out of the inning alive.
Brian Stewart
Cobb had a good game and Miles, for his inexperience, placed the ball well. Once he gained his composure, he gave us a good inning.
Trevor Clark
We haven't been scoring in the first inning, and the fact that we got those runs in the first inning gave us some confidence and carried us into the middle innings.
Gary Miner
We really battled today on the mound and at the plate. We were able to capitalize on some opportunities, especially in the big inning, and that carried us to the win.
Craig Gibson
We had one rough inning defensively, but got back on track as the game went on.
Larry Wayman
This was a great test for Bailey. The bright spot was she only gave up one run after the first inning.
Bob Grimes
Now, we can have some swagger in these late-inning games because we have done it before. We have a reference point.
Dave Roberts
It seemed like that inning we were able to break it open with everyone hitting the ball so hard.
Joe Higgins
She pitched a great game. She came back after the first inning and hit her spots. It was a good win for her.
Tiffany Hernandez
I know Roger's going to take the ball if it's going to help us, ... I'm sure he had some adrenaline going. He had another inning or two in him.
Brad Ausmus
I felt pretty good about leaving Scott in the final inning. He was really battling hard out there. Scott's going to give you everything he's got.
Clay Mccammon
That inning ---- loading the bases with no one out and getting just one run ---- hurt.
Rick Aguilera
We got off to a slow start after hitting the ball well in the first inning. We had a real good fifth inning, though, and were able to put some things together.
Gordon Godfrey
He threw the ball well. He just couldn't get out of that inning.
Luis Alicea
I talked to them (Sunday) and I talked to them (Saturday) and stressed to them that every inning is important. We are not able to coast.
Bob Apodaca
For one inning, it was a bad exhibition of softball.
Roosevelt Newell
We just couldn't get out of the inning. They're a very explosive team.
Kris Vancas
Dani looked very good tonight. She was in complete control after the first inning and really only had one bad pitch in that inning.
Yvette Girouard
Shoot, I made three in one inning all by myself!
Willie Davis
It was a close game going into that fifth inning and they just blew it open. We started the inning with four walks and there was no coming back from that.
Jason Herman
I was strong. I was really strong. The offense took the pressure off me in the first inning.
Jon Garland
I actually felt a lot better in the seventh inning than I did in the first inning. My fastball was still strong.
Justin Portzline
We had some defensive lapses that cost us. We pretty much wrapped it up and gave it to them in the 10th inning.
Bob Ripley
They made a big play in the second inning.
Jack Korpar
I didn't really have the two-strike pitch where I can strike a guy out and get out of an inning.
Joe Kennedy
We are just taking it one pitch at a time, one inning at a time. We are actually drawing closer.
Brandon Mcarthur
He struggled a little bit in the first inning and then settled down.
Leo Veleas
It was back and forth all day. We went up 3-0 in the first inning and they tied it up in the third. It was like that all game.
Shawn French
Aaron was cruising through the whole game and had a two-hitter going into the seventh inning. He got into a little trouble, but he got the last big out for us.
Mark Gulseth
I told Barret the good thing was that he held his composure and that we didn't have to get him out of the second inning. He really didn't pitch bad.
Jamey Shouppe
We kicked the ball around early in the top of the fourth and gave 'em a big inning.
Scot Meeker
We got behind in counts and they teed-off on us. It's nothing new to the kids. We have to get ahead of hitters and it ended up costing us in the second inning.
Cory Hansen
Now I know what to do in that spot, and what to do to get the inning going.
Marci Pratt
You can't give any team six outs in an inning.
Brian Reinke
They played some sloppy ball that inning. They helped us out. We just weren't able finish it off.
Frank Catalanotto
It took me a couple of innings to get adjusted and I started to get in a groove about the fourth inning. My fastball and curve were really working well.
Kalen Pimentel
We were able to get some big outs. Brandt got a big out for us, and Farquhar inherited a tough situation because you never know when your big inning will be.
Tony Robichaux
We make two catches and we're out of the inning.
Franco Chavez
Cupps was outstanding tonight, ... He got better each inning, his breaking ball got better. He reached down, dug deep and pitched a heck of game for us.
Mel Stottlemyre
It's just the first inning so you can let anything get to you. If you get mad in the first inning and let things get under you're skin, you're not going to do good the rest of the day.
Shane Mathews
We played six good innings, and then they really came after us. It just fell apart in the last inning.
Janet Lugge
I'm a little bit behind the other guys. The first inning I was a little flat.
Gustavo Chacin
It was the consistency that you appreciated. It was the idea that you had a guy on the mound who would allow you to go out and feel safe in the seventh inning and he was going to give you a chance to win the game.
Dave Wallace
The last inning didn't lose this game for us. We made some mistakes. We got a little careless in the field. But we can build off this.
Tu'u Seva'aetasi
That was quite an inning with four doubles in a row. We're just blessed with some good athletes that like to swing the bat.
Don Andrews
West Chicago caught some breaks earlier in the game. I guess in that last inning it was our turn.
Greg Dierks
We were good (after the first inning). It was good to see they were mature enough to settle down and play.
Ron Whitehurst
If you had told me that Alberto Gonzalez would make two errors in the first inning, I'd have bet my mortgage against it.
Mark Haley
It is something we have dealt with since Day 1. You can't recreate that environment. It's just the ability to go out there and slow the inning down as much as you can.
Clint Hurdle
We'd been a bit flat and that inning was a big spark.
Don Harvey
An error started the inning and then we give up an infield single. Then before you know it, it's 6-0.
Pat Listach
I guess it's great that we have confidence in our No. 1 (pitcher). But we almost have so much confidence that we wait until the seventh inning or (later) to win.
Heather Bruder
You give a team five runs in an inning — well, we didn't give them to (Mountain Crest). We gave them a couple of runs, some runners on base and they came up with big hits.
Shane Jones
One inning killed us. We broke down defensively.
Rachel Mckay
He was just a man on a mission. You just always hoped the inning would last so he could have a chance to win it.
John Brennan
The fifth inning was definitely key for us. That's when we were able to pull away.
Russell Brann
We set the tone early. We did a good job of hitting the ball in the first inning.
Michael Lindsey
I don't know, ... A lot of mistakes in one inning is not good. I'm not happy with it. I don't understand. I know I am human but it was a lot of mistakes to good hitters. It was not good. I'm not happy.
Orlando Hernandez
I didn't change anything - I went out there with the same mentality (that inning).
Bryan Henry
The last inning he was throwing better than (the earlier innings). He did a good job of finishing.
Shawn Weaver
We kind of gave it away in the sixth inning. Errors are bad enough, but when you have three in one inning, that really sets you back.
Brian Gruber
I'm proud of my kids for getting a couple of runs in the first inning to get us going.
David Treece
The guys did a great job of battling and had some great at bats in that last inning. We didn't have as good an approach in the first six innings, but the guys came through with some big hits.
David Beasley
I think they're only in the first or second inning of a turnaround. They've done a miraculous job, but I think there's much more to come.
Steve Kernkraut
It was a battle every inning, ... I didn't have a 1-2-3 inning. There were people on base every inning. But I was able to make pitches when I had to.
Brandon Claussen
We came out and hit the ball great in the first inning. It wasn't like they were making errors, we were just hitting well.
Connie Finn
They shouldn't have scored any runs in that (fourth) inning. That did us in.
Corey Held
I came out and felt fine in the first inning, but I just didn't make pitches in that second inning.
Matt Vaughn
After the first inning, he started getting in his groove. He just got hot and we couldn't do anything.
Bob Shinkan
We still had a chance in both games (in the last inning) to get out of it with double plays when we got ground balls and just didn't come through.
Brian Brewer
We were a little more patient, letting him pitch more in that inning and weren't hitting the first pitch.
David Camic
Crater played very well in the second game but we came through with the big inning and the win.
Troy Thompson
The first inning, that was it. He was great after that. He got the ball down and he was consistently in the zone.
Chairon Isenia
What happened in the sixth inning I'm not sure.
Wandy Rodriguez
(Dirks) really didn't catch his groove until somewhere about the fourth inning. I think the fifth is the first time we had the first 1-2-3 inning. We needed it.
Smoke Laval
Typical Brad. Get him through the first inning and he'll do OK for you.
A.j. Pierzynski
I wanted to go to the (seventh) inning so she could try for the strikeout record.
Tyleen Tausaga
We were down 5-2 in the first couple of innings after the defense committed a few errors. But all the players calmed down and played a great game from the fourth inning on.
Andy Keith
Let's just say we've had a lot of five-inning games this year.
Jena Torres
I was hoping the first inning wouldn't come back to haunt us. In the long run, it worked out OK.
Charla Parrish
After the second inning, I was as down as I've been in a long, long time, ... Emotionally frustrated. I was at a crossroads where I could continue to beat myself down or make adjustments.
Curt Schilling
With this team it's always one inning. One inning kills us. Every game we've had, one inning got us. I don't know what it is right now.
Tim Baines
Hopefully, this will motivate them to work harder. We gave up two errors in the first inning and gave up two runs, so that set the tone.
Rick Bonnell
Again, we gave up a run in the first inning. That's three games in a row we gave up a run in the first. Hopefully, that won't happen (today).
Curt Smith
It seemed like we just gave up after the first inning.
Gerard Garcia
We got up to the ninth inning. Miller stuffed his bill in his drawer and it died.
Shareese Deleaver
We played well, but had too many errors. We had a five-out inning in the fifth.
Aaron Bender
I really thought I was going to have a good game and give my team a chance to win, even after the first inning, but it didn't happen. I didn't get ahead of too many hitters tonight.
Luke Hudson
When you have a pitcher of her caliber, to give up two runs in the first inning just gives her more confidence. It was going to be one of those games that if it?s 0-0 going into the fifth, it?s a different game.
Cathy Miller
When you get a chance to get out of inning and you have to get out of the inning. When we didn't make the play, their next guy didn't let us off the hook.
Greg Wakefield
Obviously, with the way it was raining and with the field conditions, it would have made it very difficult to get another inning in.
Ray Everette
We just couldn't stop the bleeding. We've not had a bad inning, and we had a bad inning. In softball, you just can't allow that to happen.
Jeff Hulse
We never really got down, but we had to rally and get it together. We knew we had to have one big inning and we'd be all right.
Chris Pittman
It's nice to see Jesus get a big hit and Frazier had a big hit in that inning, too. It's good to get a few more cylinders going anyway.
Bill Plummer
This last inning will benefit us going forward. Hitting and lack of hitting is contagious. I couldn't be happier. Now we have to continue it.
Tracy Nichols
We can't get through the first inning.
Tim Nihart
After the second inning, (Dustin) really stepped it up and made his pitches.
Lorenzo Bundy
That was kind of a rough way to start the first inning.
Brett Mackey
We told our kids that there is no five-run hit. Just go out and get one or two. And then get one or two the next inning.
Rich Swann
It's like every game goes down to every inning, every pitch and you have to be focused. We lost our focus there in the sixth inning.
Jim Cabucio
Offensively we had runners on all game. But, we couldn't get that key hit until we exploded for 5 runs in the sixth inning.
Brad Schmitt
They were ripping the baseball, no doubt about it. It was a very tough inning for us.
Bill Sikes
The way we hit the ball, we feel like there is never a deficit that we can't get back with a big inning or two. That's a real nice feather to have in your cap.
