Yeah, we have a good defense. But with the cold weather, a field with no fence and these bats you're never comfortable unless you're up eight or nine.

Q. started out winning his position because of his defense and his ability to take care of the ball. His passing has really added to the team's strength, and he just plays very hard. I think Q.'s hard play and his toughness of mind has rubbed off on many of the other players, and he's been a very good attribute for the team.

We weren't sure she would play. But she said she felt good enough to go and gave it a try. She threw pretty good.

Hopefully this is something you can learn from. We made some mistakes defensively today that we haven't been doing all year. There were times when we weren't looking to throw (to the correct base).

They got the ball through the infield when they needed to and we hit the ball right at people with runners on.

She'll start on Wednesday and it will depend on how she feels as to when she pitches in a game.
