I thought we had a good start to the game tonight. We definitely have been concentrating on coming out ready to play, and I thought we were.

I thought the kids really played hard, especially on defense. But Red Oak hit some shots to stay out in front.

We thought that his last three fouls were questionable.

That's when you see a guy who is physically at his best. I thought he did a good job [Sunday] and gave us a good effort, and for the most part he had good recall about what he's supposed to do and where he's supposed to line up. I just think if he continues to work at it, it will continue to get better.

Pitchers are generally ahead of hitters early in the season. She is pretty good at changing speeds but I thought we did a nice job of making adjustments when we needed to.

It was an opinion that I expressed at the time and that's what I thought at the time.
