It's a 10-team tournament and we are using wooden bats that somebody's furnishing. It's going to be a good deal and the kids are looking forward to it.

Arkansas is a very good team. They could be a team that could get in the tournament and make some noise.

This was a great way to start out the tournament. Our bats were hot and Holly used that to her advantage. Now we look forward to our game against Florida Atlantic, which is a very dangerous team. We will need to be focused.

We didn't come out flat. They came out and swung the bats well. How can a team come out flat when we know what's on the line? It's Sept. 21 and we're 11/2 games out. They jumped out on us and never let up. They kept their foot on our neck and never let us breathe.

We ran into a buzz saw here. They're a very good team. They certainly came out swinging the bats, and they went right to our strength, the starting pitching.

We played well in the tournament and have nothing to be ashamed of. Jacobs is a very good team.
