I thought that she pitched better in the first game than the second. She looked like she was steering her pitches a little bit (in the second game) and getting behind hitters. She's going to help us, but she has to improve.

(The Tigers) had the best of the second half. I thought we controlled the game in the first half. If you can't get the ball forward, though, you're not going to win.

For not playing a game in a week, Abby Hutchins looked extremely well. She pitched a great ball game.

He was great in the second half. In the first half, he looked like a drunk driver.

(We) didn't hit the ball today. Whitney pitched well (in the first game), we just couldn't give her any help. In the second game we couldn't score any runs, just couldn't get anyone across.

The same way every time. We've never made it to the second game (of the final). It's always the first game. What beat us was we didn't hit the ball. On defense, you've got to give our guys credit. We played with a lot of heart. There were lots of times they could have scored two or three runs, but we kept battling and battling.
