We wanted to play well today.

If we can just get the ball in play, we're fine. And that's what we did today.

We weren't prepared today. Pine Crest was better prepared mentally and physically, and if we play this way [today] we are going to be in trouble. We needed more offense.

I'm glad how the kids responded and came to the ballpark today ready to play. It was a solid effort on our part to play a first-place team and keep us in the thick of the race.

We never like to lose. We came here today to win. But I am very proud of the team and the way they shot today. It's our team high score and we are improving. We are starting to come together as a team and are getting better. We are working hard.

It's a big relief that she is back. We didn't have her in the lineup today, but her performance was very encouraging. She is such a trooper. She's been coming in early and staying after practice and knows what it takes to be successful. She will provide a big boost to our lineup as we continue on this year.
