Sam Beeler Quotations

We faced a pretty good pitcher in that first game. The girl came out and threw hard, but girls like Amanda Doyle - she's just been on fire lately.

She's not going to overpower people, but she's a smart pitcher. Hopefully we get them to hit the pitch she wants them to hit. We've got a steady defense behind her.

She's a great competitor on the mound. She kept us off balance. This is the best I've seen her in four years I've coached against her.

Ashley Dearth (1-2) came in and pitched a good game. She struck out 12, but they just started hitting her a little bit late in the game.

They picked us fourth or fifth in the league. Our kids looked at that. They sort of hung that up in their locker room. That's something they looked at every day. For us to finish tied for second is exactly where we thought we could be. I'm very proud of how the kids responded. We built off that.

Once again, we had a solid defensive effort behind (Wright). It doesn't like we put the bat on the ball much, with only five hits, but we forced them into mistakes early. We hit the ball hard at them all night long.

After that the kids just responded behind her.

Anytime you face the Bradshaw girl it's tough. She's an all-state player. Bradshaw throws hard.

The kids hit the ball well and extremely hard. We played another error free game.

The girls did everything they could today. As a coach, you strive to get your girls to do the little things, and they executed very well today.
