Ashley Dearth (1-2) came in and pitched a good game. She struck out 12, but they just started hitting her a little bit late in the game.

Kent pitched a good game. His pitch count started to get high and I didn't want to kill the kid. We talked a little bit before and he was getting a little tired. We can rely on (Weaver) to close it out.

Larry pitched good and got better as the game went along. If the game had gone on, he would have been even better.

Our defense was solid and Smith pitched a good game.

Mary Pat pitched one heck of a game. She was out there humming the ball, hitting her spots and hitting the corners. Our defense just had a little mental lapse there in the second inning. We're going to get better at it. It's still early in the season and we're not quite where we want to be yet. But, we're going to get there.

Andy pitched a good game. We put Jeff Ickes in a tough spot there. He's a sophomore who never pitched on varsity before. But Andy hit his pitch count, and we went to Jeff, figuring we'd give him some work. I think he was a little nervous out there, but he'll be OK.
