ball emily michelle move pitching strength tried
We've tried to have it here. I'd like to know I have the pitching strength. Bethany can move the ball better than the other three. Nichole can pitch really fast. Emily and Michelle are young and they have a lot to learn.
ball catch good placement work
She did a good job. We have to work with her on placement of her feet, and catch the ball before she makes a play. I think we'll be OK.
arm concerned couple hold normally pitch practice walked yesterday
Yesterday she didn't pitch as long as she normally does in practice because her arm was hurting. So I was concerned about today, but she did real well. She walked a couple but she's going to be the one to hold us in there.
ball due hit practice work yesterday
Yesterday in practice every ball she hit went over the fence. She was due for it to go over the fence. That's all she's been able to work on is her hitting.
batting good gotten improved knew last produce year
I knew Bethany could produce for us. Last year she was my No. 2 pitcher, and she was young. She's improved a lot. Her batting has gotten a lot better too. I know she can do a good job.
biggest errors gave hits holding key mental runs
The biggest key was holding them to not that many hits and that is what did it for us. We had those mental errors in the first and gave them those two runs in the beginning, but they were unearned runs.
best coaching girls listen older worked
The best part of it is, I've worked with all of them before. They know me and they know my coaching style. When you have young girls they're going to listen to you more than older girls who think they know everything.
forward game means several work
They are young but they at least know how to play the game so you don't have to go over all those fundamentals as much. But I look forward to it that just means I have several more years to work with them.
ball district excited hit next proud ready start today together week
We hit the ball real well today and I was proud of that and they are working together and getting ready for next week when we start our district play. I am excited about that.
april break gives time until
We've had a lot of illnesses, but we have a long break now. We don't play until after April 18. It gives us some time to heal.
good outfield strong thinking
I feel really strong about the infield I'm thinking about having. I feel good about my outfield too, I just don't know who that's going to be.
chalk district experience hopefully
We just have to chalk this up to experience and hopefully once we get to district play it will look a lot better.
expect good great kid today
I expect that from her, and her play on first today was great. She's a good kid and a great athlete.
ball close felt few freedom hit listened normally runners tried weaker
Because we felt Freedom was a little weaker we tried a few things we wouldn't normally try in a close game. You have to see how your runners are going to do in these non-district games. The hit the ball well and they listened well.
