Stepped Quotations | Page 6

She's an outstanding player, obviously. I really think she stepped up down the stretch. We tried some different things. She made great plays down the stretch.

We started out a little rough, but we stepped it up in the fourth quarter. We wanted to win. We wanted the bragging rights, but we all were looking forward to this game.

We started off kind of sloppy with some fundamental errors. But I was obviously very pleased with the pitching and, defensively, we played good ground-ball defense. And the outfield stepped up and made a couple of big catches.

We started off a little bit slow in the first period. Saskatchewan came out and were physical. We responded to that in the second period and we stepped up our level of play.

(Richardson) stepped up tonight and I can't put into words what she does. If every team had a kid like that, they would be much better and if it wasn't for Andrea Richardson we wouldn't be 23-4.

People were going down. But we have guys that stepped up and came in and played different positions and played well at that position.

Petey has stepped in and thrown as well as anybody in our rotation. That's a great acquisition for us.

Phillip's done that all year. He has stepped up when Michael hasn't been in there.

Peter had a really good finish and he stepped it up. Paula and Jessica had an excellent day, too. Both took off a minute and that will start showing up.

This was a team effort. Different guys made plays, and then other guys stepped up and made plays.
