It took some good pitching by Brittany to get out of that jam. She stepped up her game and showed me something.

The pitching was solid. Jake did a good job of getting out of that inning. If we're going to do anything state-wise, we've got to have Jake throwing well.

It was good to see in the last game where B.J. finally stepped up. B.J. is a guy I think has not produced the way we thought he would. Hopefully, he has matured, and going into this third year, is starting to give us some quality depth.

We showed up and played a really good game, but we just weren't very lucky.

It was a boring game, but we did a lot of little things well. It was a good win and sets up a huge week coming up. Next week will go a long way to determining the order for the state playoffs, so it's very important that we play well.

(Minnesota) took Cyndi totally out of the game. Nikki (Smith) stepped in and was able to knock some shots down.
