We got eight hits today. We just couldn't get the big one we needed. They got the hit they needed. That was the difference.

Amanda is one of those players who contributes when she is needed. She hit a couple of big shots when Erskine made a comeback.

We didn't hit the ball well tonight, but we did get the hits when we needed them. No matter what it looked like, it was a win for us and that is always a good thing.

It doesn't take a lot to learn what gap you should hit by bringing eight guys when only seven are blocking. But when you have to protect and not (be familiar) with an offense or a coach for a long period of time, it becomes confusing in the line of fire.

Those were two big hits. We had more chances and did not hit the ball hard. It is really difficult [with pitchers that wild]. It's tough because when you get anything close, you want to swing. You have to be even more patient.

A big hit was strawberries with black pepper.
