Quotes by Bob Yagge
The last three or four innings, we had runners on base and we were hitting the ball solid. We had only one strikeout in the last three or four innings. We were ripping the ball pretty good. It's the sign of a good team when they can come back. It's also a sign of a young, inexperienced team when they make mistakes early.
The conference is open to whoever wants to play really good the last half of the season and win it.
Cindy has brilliant moments. She pitched kind of erratic today; she had four walks and wasn't exactly as good as she wants to be. But she's a good pitcher, she's coming around.
They need their focus tuned in every once in a while and that's what I was trying to do right there -- get them adjusted and focused on what they've got to do. They respond to different kinds of treatment and this was a game they had to hear it loud.
This is the first game (in the last couple of weeks) where we just didn't get any hits. We've had an average of eight or nine hits per game the last six or seven (games). We've hit the ball. Young kids are overwhelmed by situations. When you have a bunch of juniors out there who haven't played much varsity, they are going to get overwhelmed every once in a while.
That triple was a big, big hit for her. She went with an outside pitch and put it where it had to go. Morgan Parkhurst with two outs (also) had that single up the middle that brings in a big run.
At the start of the game our bats were asleep, we were asleep. They came out aggressive and we didn't. That was story of the game. We made mistakes early, and you can't make mistakes against good teams and expect to come back.
We did them some favors on defense. That's what happens when you play on your heels instead of on your toes. We made some adjustments. Hopefully, we'll learn from those adjustments. We've got to.
We've been working a lot more on hitting our spots in practice. Not just throwing pitches with big break on it, but hitting the locations. That's critical.
