I just wish my girls could get a little bit more excited about winning. They are very routine. She (Wise) is a very strong athlete. She and the catcher (Emily Bloom) are both juniors and did a great job.

Once we've been through the first round and know, we relax more.

We are a powerful extra-base hitting team. But the consistency isn't there like I would like it to be.

I do everything I can do to make sure the girls' routine is the same and their lives aren't changed a whole lot by what has happened. But night times are extremely difficult because that's when we miss him the most.

The thing I was excited about wasn't winning the regional. All the girls qualified for states.

All of the girls have really done everything we've needed to do to keep winning.
