Tina Deese Game Quotations

Holly got much stronger as the game went on. Like Beth, she picked her corners, but also overpowered her batters at times.

This was a great way to start out the tournament. Our bats were hot and Holly used that to her advantage. Now we look forward to our game against Florida Atlantic, which is a very dangerous team. We will need to be focused.

Beth threw a controlled game today, which allowed for those 10 strikeouts. She found the corner and stuck with it and kept those batters off balance. She walked just two, which was real key in a tight game like that.

Beth had a great game from the circle. She was commanding, and the only real solid hit against her was the single in the eighth.

Beth and Holly really controlled each game from the circle. Both kept their batters off balance, and aside from a few hits apiece, did not allow a Kentucky batter to really figure them out.
