We played so much better in the field. Haley Wells made a laid-out, diving catch in the outfield. Everyone took care of their business on defense and I was very pleased with that. Defense had been hurting us a lot.

Making the state tournament has always been our top goal and we're just one win away from that now.

We're not expecting any easy games. As much as we've struggled, we know every game is going to be a fight to the finish.

Errors have hurt us all year long. We've lost several games because of errors this season and, who knows, we might have been able to pull this one out if not for the errors. It's getting frustrating. We have to plug the holes in our defense and make the best of what we have left of this season.

She (Johnson pitched a pretty good game. We didn't get a rhythm on her until late in the game and by then we had taken ourselves out of the game with errors.

They gave us a little help but we also came through with some big hits when we had runners on base.
