This was the first game we really executed defensively. We also had some timely hits late in the game and scored a couple of more runs when we needed it.

I've always been a defensively-minded coach and we aren't going to get any better than we are right now. So now the focus is on scoring runs. As I told the girls, today was a good day for us because we played well. We're attacking each team with the idea that we can win at least one.

We're a young team and there are only 12 girls on the roster. We're learning on the field and off and we're going to make young mistakes.

Up until that first game today, we were struggling.

The reason for longevity is truth and honesty, and I think we that we possessed that and it manifested itself in our art form.

Make a commitment to serve the needs of the ‘least of these’ and give voice to the voiceless.
