Our goal is to close the gap and we're in complete control of that. I think the girls are beginning to sense that (the playoffs) could become a reality.

We had discussed in practice that we have to over come obstacles. When we get in trouble we can't have the letdowns.

I don't know if more things could have gone wrong at the beginning of the game. But the girls responded well to their mistakes. It's not always about how many mistakes you make. It's about how you respond to them.

I was proud of the way our girls got out there at the beginning of the game. They really came out with a lot of effort and hustle.

The girls just weren't ready at the beginning of the year. Our pitching has come around. They have put in the extra work and it has just taken off. We have a lot of momentum going into the districts.

She would lose control when she had been in control from the very beginning.
