If we take care of the ball, we've got a chance to compete in all of our games.

Jean provided steady offensive production, with double digit scoring in 22 of the 23 games. Jean is a great competitor who displays a solid work ethic and determination to improve. Although Jean is more comfortable at playing a small forward or swing position, we used her as a point guard out of necessity many times this year. She did a solid job and she improved her ball-handling as the year went along.

The bottom line is, their pitchers were better than our hitters tonight. We had our chance but we couldn't get the job done. It's the same old thing we've seen all year. We have a runner at third base with less than two outs and we can't him in.

That was a game. That was one heck of a game. That was one of those games that nobody deserved to lose. Mitchell Davidson did a heck of a job for us, but (Ryan) Tucker did a great job for them. We were just fortunate enough to win.

I was pleased with both games. Our sportsmanship was outstanding.

It's bitterly disappointing but I've been told there's no chance of me making the Scotland games. I was really looking forward to them after our great results against Italy and Norway.
