We gave them two runs that we shouldn't have. We came back and put the ball in play. And our short-ball players did their job. But the big stick players did nothing.

I felt like we should have won it the first time.

That thing at third base killed us. And that leadoff runner in the third inning never should have been on. Allen is as lucky as they can be to leave here with a win. And as soon as we get it all together, we're going to start winning. I hate that we didn't get to finish that tournament last weekend (because of the bad weather). I think that would have really helped us.

After Tuesday night, we had a meeting. I told them that there's no excuse for our pitcher getting 15 strikeouts and us not being able to get six outs without giving up some runs. We had been practicing kind of sluggish, and that carries over. But we bounced back Thursday and started hitting the ball. It was a good mental victory.

She's going to be vital to us. She kept us in games last year, and she should have had more wins. But we just couldn't give it to her. Our problem was that we couldn't put the nail in the coffin because we couldn't score enough runs.

Hayley had two strikes on her, and I told her she needed to just center up. And she ended up with a double.

We needed this win after we fell apart against Flower Mound.

I've seen a lot of bright spots this season. But when we execute, we can beat anyone. We could push the bunt down exactly where we wanted to, and this was just total execution.

I told her we just needed a ball into the outfield.

I never cringe when the ball comes her way. We booted a couple, and that's how they scored their runs. But the infield defense was really solid.
