The focus all week has been on improving our Nos. 4-7 spots and it paid off.

I just knew we were going to do well. As long as we continue to play well there's nothing that surprises me.

Things got a little bit out of hand, things didn't bounce our way, but they kept going. Not at one point while they were out on the field did they hang their heads too low. They still had that attitude that they could do it despite what the score was.

They work really well together because they're good friends and they're very confident players. Even as freshmen they came in confident, so to step in was very easy. They're just going to get better. I can't see anyone taking their positions away.

They don't actually get it. They don't keep up with baseball, so they don't know (about Johnson and Maddux). They're two bright girls, but when it comes to baseball they're clueless.

They don't strike out much. They have awesome hand-eye coordination and that really helps them out a lot.

Rarely do plays come out that perfect. Kevin did a great job of beating the guys and using his speed and I was able to put the ball there.

I started ripping (balls at) her. I told her I was going to rip her head off if she let any balls go by her.

You get up and you get a lead and you start feeling comfortable, you have to keep going. Our morale dropped down a little. There's really no excuse for it, but we really need to make sure we come out and play all seven innings.

Yeah, it's fun when you have success. But ... I'm just going to worry about this game and then sit back and relax and see what happens after that.
