I would have liked to have seen us do a little better job at the plate, but I'm very pleased that we came out of here with two wins. You play these early games to knock the rust off, and I think we did that today.
We've been to the top of the mountain, and as long as we were up there, last year was tough to take.
I think people are going to find out about her very quickly this season. She has a great swing and has been crushing the ball.
I think Katie was maybe trying to do too much. She just let it happen today.
We'll take it. That first game was a huge win for us, because that's one of the premier teams in the state. A game like that will really help us in the long run.
We have a lot of up and comers who are going to fight for playing time in the outfield.
We just wanted to go up there and do what we needed to do to win the game. We hit the ball. Eight hits aren't a reflection of how hard we hit the ball. The wind took away four or five extra base hits.
To be honest, it's not the kind of game that we are excited about. When it's on the schedule, you just have to go and do what you do. The expectation of our players is to go out and play to our level.
Sam pitched well for us today. She kept things in control and let the girls behind her make plays.
Sam pitched the best game of her high school career today. She mixed up pitches and kept their hitters off-balance, and they hit a lot of easy pop-ups. Stacey came in the second game and didn't look like a freshman. She's making progress, and we want to keep seeing that.
Sam is our No. 1 for now. She hasn't proven she can take us where we want to be. She's good enough to do it, but hasn't proven it yet. Stacy has big-time potential. Whoever pitches the best will be out there.
This is probably the best infield I've had. Our infield has the ability to make so many big-time plays.
If pitchers throw the ball down the middle of the plate, we're going to hit it. From a power-hitting standpoint, we're going to be fun to watch. Playing at a place with fences, teams are going to have a tough time keeping us in the ballpark.
