To that point, we were playing focused defense and got much better pitching. The offense just wasn't aggressive.

Everybody contributed. The pitching was solid, the defense made some big plays and the offense really came through when they needed to.

In both games we got some great pitching. We also made some great defensive plays.

I think we need to play in more close games like that. We got nervous in seventh inning. We just need to be more confident.

Our hitting is getting better. We had some very good at-bats and made some adjustments.

The thing we've had trouble with is she turns on the ball too fast. She goes very quickly ? reads the pitch too quickly sometimes.
