It's nice to have Jill back with us. It's nice to have somebody out there that has been through our system.

Defense is, for some reason, always an asset here.

We're notoriously not a high scoring team and we're looking to change that.

It doesn't seem to affect them. What's the option...not to play? We're just happy we have a place to practice and some nice fields to play on during the season.

They got out and covered us better on the perimeter. They did a better job of shielding our shooters and getting out and getting a hand up. There were a couple of fouls that were missed on 3-pointers right in front of us, but that didn't beat us.

What helped us a lot was being patient at the plate in that one inning. Against a great pitcher you have to do what you have to do for your team. Take a walk, a hit batter; anyway we can get a runner on.
