We have a new middle name. Call us the Lady 'One bad inning' Tigers. Two runs is not hard to pick up. But the third inning -- and that's what it's been all season. The girls know that.

That one was gift-wrapped, but when you score 11 runs in an inning you've got to do a lot of things right. It was pretty wild in the dugout. It was a pretty exciting atmosphere. It was like a little kid's feeling. We were giddy. You can't believe what's happening.

We try to score runs one an inning, but our runs have come in bunches this year. When Royal was getting on base, we win. We're a different team when he's on base. He makes all of our guys better hitters when he's on base.

I probably would not use him for more than one inning. And if I got him warming up in the bullpen, I'd want to get him in the game.

It's still hard when you see the people, and they don't come to our church. ... While we're not raw and bleeding to the bone, there's still a few tender spots.

It's never over. You don't want to be in the position to be down four runs in the ninth inning, but it's not over until the last out.
