becoming complete emily fantastic job last physically pitch year
I thought Emily did a fantastic job all weekend. She has become what she was at the end of the year last year. She is becoming the complete pitcher. Not only is she physically gifted, but she understands how to pitch now and not just throw.
bad complete control good looked pitch
Dani looked very good tonight. She was in complete control after the first inning and really only had one bad pitch in that inning.
against bats defense effective good impressive needed pitcher played sharp talented tigers
It was an impressive day for the Tigers with the bats against a pretty effective pitcher in Callahan. We were opportunistic and played some good defense when we needed to. I didn't think that Dani was particularly sharp but she was still talented enough to win.
absolutely air bats capable good great job leaving matter pitchers played softball swung tough
It was a great day offensively for the Tigers. We absolutely swung the bats like I know we are capable of doing. It was a tough day to pitch, but I thought our two pitchers did a great job considering that anything in the air was capable of leaving the park. It was a great day for us, but not good softball conditions. It was just a matter of survival, but I thought we played well.
ball extremely good great hit intended job pitchers sweep team tough
It was a great sweep for the Tigers. We did what we intended to do for the weekend. The team hit the ball extremely well all weekend. The pitchers did a good job in tough conditions.
balance both came good huge kept needed pitcher pitches played second sweep talk
It was a good sweep for us on the day. I thought we were a little tentative at the plate. (Mary Jane) Callahan is a good pitcher and she kept us off balance in the second game. Camille came up huge when you talk about primetime hitting. I thought both of our pitches came through with the pitches when we needed them and we played some outstanding defense.
again believe both change deal emily great leaders leaders-and-leadership lights perform pitchers starting step tough track
I like the way we look right now. Our leaders are starting to step up their play. Emily was lights out again for us. Dani had her change up working well again. It's great to see both of our pitchers perform so well because we really do believe we have that 1-2 combination but it's just been a little lacking. Once Dani is back on track we should be really tough to deal with.
emily junior kid mental pitcher senior since talent until year
I have to give kudos to Emily because that kid has come a long way since she started. I always thought it would take until her junior or senior year until you could really see what kind of pitcher she is. She's always had all the talent in the world and now she's getting the mental aspect.
coming game parts phenomenal together
I thought we were just phenomenal in the first inning. Parts of the game are really coming together for us right now.
excited game happy lauren love passionate player work
Lauren Castle, wow, what a day for her. I'm so happy for her because I don't think I've ever had a player work as hard, be as passionate and love the game as much as she does. I am so excited for her.
control emily except exploded finish quite realize scoring sharp statement talked total
We talked about scoring in the first inning because we realize how important it is for us. We exploded out, and made a statement immediately. We couldn't quite finish it, but we did get to play everybody. Emily (Turner) wasn't as sharp as she has been, but she was still in total control except for one pitch.
divided except far needed paper programs realistic sweep teams track
This was one of those teams that we said we needed to sweep and we're getting it done. We divided the programs up as to what was realistic and who we thought on paper we should sweep and we are on track so far except for Georgia.
threw thrown
I thought Dani was magnificent tonight. I thought she threw as well as she's thrown in a while.
ball base defense exception eyes hard hit looked nice overall possibly running totally
I think, with the exception of base running mistakes, we looked very good. The defense was totally solid; especially tonight, we made some really nice plays. We hit the ball as hard as you can possibly hit it, but it just didn't have eyes at times, but overall I was very pleased.
