injuries played players pull second
We played a lot of players that we usually don't play because of injuries in the second game, but I'm disappointed that we couldn't pull of the second win.
fighting fights-and-fighting injuries offense stepped
We are still fighting through some injuries to our pitchers. Fortunately our offense stepped up in a big way.
caliber compete fairly four gain hitting home injuries next runs team turn visiting
We are fairly disappointed in today's effort. Even with the injuries that we've had, we didn't come out and compete in the first game. I told the team that we can't 'turn it off and turn it on.' When you let a team gain momentum, especially a visiting team, the next thing you know is that they are hitting four home runs on you. I feel that that is unacceptable for the caliber of team that we have.
area bad game parts performance physically worst
No parts of our game were there today. It was a disgrace. This is our worst performance of the year, without a doubt. We weren't there mentally, we weren't there physically ? we were bad in every area today.
good last offensive performance seen
Last week's performance is as good of an offensive performance that I've seen as a coach.
ball cold great hit overall played
Overall we played well today. It was windy and cold but we hit the ball well and Brooke pitched a great game.
experience good learning potential veteran
We didn't play up to our potential in Hawaii. But, it was a good learning experience for our veteran team. Now they are more focused.
awesome ball hit offensive three
We hadn't hit the ball like we could. We've done it three years with this group. (Thursday) was an awesome offensive performance.
anybody bit carry players ran
When you give anybody a little bit of momentum, they're going to carry it through the game. I ran out of players and I ran out of lineup cards.
couple last road weary
Finally. I think we were road weary the last couple of trips. We battled, but didn't come through like tonight.
capable hit last offensive putting road seven team weeks
We've been on the road for the last seven weeks and were a little road weary. This team is very capable of putting up big offensive numbers. If we hit like we did tonight, I think we are unbeatable.
facets game job nice pitchers potent seemed shutting southern together utah
We seemed to put together all facets of the game today. Our pitchers did a nice job shutting down a very potent Southern Utah offense.
girls hard mean nice polls though work
It's nice to see the girls' hard work get recognized. Even though the preseason polls don't mean a whole lot, it does show that we are getting some respect.
finally great healthy performance showing summer
Summer pitched great for us today. She is finally getting healthy and it is showing in her performance.
