We know Heather is a valuable asset but you don't win games unless you score runs. Heather goes out there with the attitude of striking everyone out but she also knows she's got a very good defense behind her.

It's not one of nine that does anything for a team; it's nine of nine. One of us alone is not going to accomplish a lot. But all nine of us together can do a lot.

All we're looking to is Tuesday. I kind of had to come down on the girls hard today. They weren't giving 100 percent. They were letting each other slide and giving their less than their best. I had to let them know that my expectations are the same as they've always been. I give them 100 percent of myself every minute we're together and I expect the same out of them.

They haven't had too many close games lately. We're just hoping to make it a ballgame.

It's one of those games where you look at the box and see we had 12 hits and they had five. Carly (Hunt) struck out five to their two, and we didn't have a terrible amount of errors. But it was one of those days your errors just didn't show up in the box. We made) a lot of mental mistakes.

You have to perform all the elements to win both games, and we didn't do that.
