There have been several times when I said there's no way we'd be able to play and Chuck (Metcalf) got it ready. It didn't look too good. I want to say it didn't look too bad, but I can't lie.

Matt said he had good movement. (His pitches) normally will drop. I've got two good pitchers, and I put Matt behind the plate today and Gary on the mound. Most people when they face Gary will hit little grounders to third, and Layton is the best glove in the area.

We went to a 3-2 zone and finally talked a little. We couldn't play that (with Cappelle) because she scared me at the high post. Without her, we were able to do so.

In the second half, our shots started to fall, but the good thing was we found out we could play man-to-man defense in this tournament.

We can play better. If we can make up 10 strokes, we can do it. That's asking two strokes per man, and that's not asking a lot, so we're within striking distance.

Kevin is great to play behind. He works relatively fast, uses his fastball and throws strikes, and makes it easier on his defense.
