We have really been stinging the ball lately. When we are aggressive at the plate and use good pitch selection, we are a team that can definitely pound the ball.

Vanessa pitched a solid game using a good curve and did a good job moving the ball in and out.

I missed my pitch. When you do that and leave a ball over the plate, they're going to hit it.

They've made a lot of bats now that when you hit the ball, the stinging in your hands, you can't tell now.

Schroeder threw a really good game and you have to give her credit. She comes out and competes every game and you can't afford to not come out mentally and physically prepared to play your best game.

He leaned out over the plate and yanked it over first base. It's an OK pitch selection, an OK pitch location, and I had no reservations about throwing it. I pitched to the scouting report and pitched to my strength. But what beat us was the walk, not the hit.
