Sandy Montgomery Quotations

When you surround yourself with good players a lot of good things can happen. It is nice to get 600 wins, but I am just real happy that my team is playing the way they are.

We're getting a lot of production throughout the lineup. We've played some pretty good competition this year and have come up with some big hits.

She was a junior college All-American, and it took us all year to finally sign her. She's a power pitcher. She's getting between eight and 12 strikeouts a game for us and does a nice job.

She's a senior, she's a leader for us, and she understands how to hit. The biggest thing in college is handling your failures and not letting them create more. She's learned how to do it, and that comes from more maturity and understanding.

She played some outfield for us last year and she's not a big kid, but she's as smooth as any shortstop I've ever had. The stats say she has one error, but I certainly couldn't tell you when it was.

We have our schedule set the way it is for a reason. We want to play good competition. It is going to be chilly.

We talked about it as a team once, and that's it. Now we have to go out, play, and see what happens.

Everyone who plays against us is giving us their best game. We have to compete hard every game.

You're only as good as you recruit. Sometimes you land the right combination of kids, and sometimes you don't. We've gotten great pitching this year and a solid nucleus of position players that are doing a nice job.

They each have their own positive qualities at first base.

There was some very good competition in Arizona. There was not a bad team there that I saw.

There's a lot of competition in this team. Whoever is doing the job at the time is going to play.

They know they have to perform to get innings. They complement each other well. That's certainly not by accident.

These guys have been very focused. I've got a group of six seniors that have done a nice job of leading the team and keeping everyone on the same page.
