If our pitching and defense can keep us in ball games and we use our team speed and timely hitting, we could get some wins early which will help our confidence.

For us to get better we really need to improve our hitting and game awareness. We need to learn how to compete in games and make the plays.

Our defense has kept us in games all season. Tonight we did a good job on Aaron Smith. We did not let him get too many quality shots and we frustrated him a little.

Our 1-3-1 defense has won a lot of games for us, so we just keep reminding ourselves of that every time a team makes a run on us.

Our defense got them again tonight. That's what got us through all our games and that's what won us our championship.

Our defense was key - Natalie Hackett had three big catches to save us runs in both games. Our pitching was not as sharp, but it was good enough to keep us in the game.
