That's typical Moore on the mound. He gets better as the game goes on, and that was evident tonight. We made all the plays on defense, which kept us moving in the right direction.

It's a county rival. Every time we've played, it's been a big game ? it goes back years and years and years. They've kinda owned us the last few outings, so it was a big win for us.

We've had some slow starts, but we were very ready to play tonight. Wade pitched it well, we played good defense, and we hit the ball. I was proud.

It is great to see Laura Moore back on the mound. If she can continue what she did in Texas- no walks, spread hits out and get ahead in the count- she should do very well in our conference games.

I'm sitting [in the dugout] thinking that we've got the best closer in the game on the mound, but we also have the best hitter in the game at the plate. I was sitting there thinking he's going to try to throw him sliders, and he got a good one to hit. It was an unbelievable feeling. As soon as he hit it, you knew it was gone.

It was your typical playoff game. We'd love to be up 1-0, but oh well. We lick our wounds and come back (Saturday).
