It's tough. You don't get a break going over there, but it's good for our girls to see. If you're going to get better you have to play against good competition.

It's been tough, it's going to be tough, but you've got to break through.

Acting is a tough business to break into.

We're competing the whole game. We're not having multiple errors in a row. We're spreading them out. We're not having that one horrible inning like we had a lot last year. We're still making some silly errors that we don't need to make. But we're getting better, no doubt about that.

We didn't run the bases well. Other teams take extra bases on us, but we haven't got our heads up enough to see that. ... They want to watch the play instead of seeing that third base is open, and they better take that.

It's like I told the girls. You are one of the best eight teams in the state. And that is something to be very proud of.
