Jeremy Trill Quotations

We hit the ball well tonight. We were finding the gaps and hitting the ball in the right spots. We were really aggressive on the base paths and that really paid off.

She came back and pitched a pretty good game. She only gave up two hits and was able to pitch out of a couple of jams.

She does whatever it takes to get to that next base. And she gets a great jump on the ball when it is pitched.

She is a great team player and does what she is asked to do. She has played more softball than any of the girls on this team and they know that. They respect what she does and what she brings. She definitely proved herself as a captain this year.

I think we may have played a better game this time. Our defense let us down a little bit, but we swung a hot bat for most of the game and that helped quite a bit.

That was a nice double play and we almost turned another one. Our up the middle defense is not too bad and they are playing well right now. We take a lot of pride in that part of our defense.

We are definitely better when she is healthy and in the lineup. She brings a calming influence to our defense.

We had some young girls playing who I knew had to be nervous. I was also nervous, but they played well.

Things are going very well. I am surprised how well it's going.

Our defense was a little shaky at the start, but it was the first game of the year.

It seemed like the first inning might have rattled them a bit. We hit the ball well coming out of the gate and did what it took early to put us in a position where we could relax a little bit.

It was a goal to win and I would have never guessed that we would win by 10. Nothing against our girls, but I would have never thought it. But I think maybe we have surprised a few teams this year and as the weather gets warmer, I think we will hit even better.

It took us a while to adjust to the different pitching speed. Once we adjusted we did OK. We got the bats rolling and our defense was pretty good.

At the plate, the girls were real patient which was nice to see. Facing live pitching compared to machine pitching is completely different. We took a lot of pitches and got the hits when it counted.

I have to credit Haley (Nelson) on a great job pitching tonight. She hit her spots for the most part. She struggled a little bit in the third inning with her control, but she battled back to shut them down.

The girls are still getting to know each other. We divided up to have contact with each other during drills to get to know each other.
