It was a good performance for us. We just faced a team that is better than we are. Plain and simple.

It's a big relief that she is back. We didn't have her in the lineup today, but her performance was very encouraging. She is such a trooper. She's been coming in early and staying after practice and knows what it takes to be successful. She will provide a big boost to our lineup as we continue on this year.

We got what we basically needed. We got a great pitching performance from Mock to keep us in the game and figured out how to get some runs late and hold them off late.

She was just awesome, simply awesome. She's an amazing player and her performance in the second quarter was incredibly impressive.

We get to a level of performance at concert time that will surprise us and delight us as singers. It?s almost magical.

I couldn't ask for a better performance.
