We heard good things about the Quarter, so we thought we'd try it.

Amanda is 5-foot-8 and strong. She hits with power and is a very good defensive catcher.

The concern is that we've got to get our fielders ready to defend. Naturally it's easy to get complacent when your pitcher has it going. She's pitching great but eventually she will get hit.

Naturally that does help. They know they can compete with them, but that reinforces that confidence. In the third quarter, we were able to answer their run. Maybe that?s a sign our younger kids gained good experience earlier in the year.

I thought that changed the entire momentum of the game. It caused turnovers and we scored off transition. It put us in a comfort zone that I felt much better about.

Defensively I thought we did a great job the whole game.
