I knew we could hit the ball and we could play with anybody, and I think the girls proved it. If you told me we would go 2-2 I would have taken it.

The girls can adjust to just about anything and any style of play. They seem to be comprehending the offense better, and we're doing better on defense as the season goes on.

Sam is a big-game pitcher and she showed up.

Sam pitched an awesome game, and we just couldn't get a key hit at the right time.

We wanted this team bad.

I think they feel they have a shot at beating them, and that's important.
