It just shows the dedication of the senior class. The progression started when they were sophomores. When they came in, it was a talented class and they have been putting in the work since.
Brooke was a great outfielder and knew her position well. Losing Brooke definitely is an offensive blow as it takes an above average hitter out of our lineup.
Pitching has looked great. Liz is pretty much used to pitching like that. She has been our pitcher since her sophomore year. She is durable, and she can go. She got a little ill on the trip but worked through it.
She's durable and has pitched since her sophomore year, so she knows what to expect.
We're used to playing that many games in a row because we schedule it like that. A lot get rained out at this time of year, but if they don't, it's good experience for the kids.
It was determined at the emergency room that she would miss four to six weeks, which is basically the rest of the season. It was determined in Brooke's best interest not to rush her healing process to ensure that she would not have problems later in life with the injury recurring.
Our hitting has been very much improved. I liked what I saw. Defensively we will get a little better. We made a few mental errors and that was the difference in the two losses.
