My body was just exhausted from the heat. Just playing in the World Series you have a lot of extra adrenaline anyway and my body just wasn't working the way I needed it to. My ball wasn't moving and I didn't want to hang the ball for them to hit.

That shows why the NCAA tournament is the Pac-10 Tournament. We all beat up on each other.

She'll laser one into the dugout. In Hawaii, she did it five times in one at-bat. The fence is 3 feet tall, and we're sitting under it to protect ourselves. She has so much power, you don't have time to react.

Everything is just firing on all cylinders right now-we're really clicking. We're getting runs across the plate and our pitching and defense are keeping the other's teams off. We're doing what we're supposed to do.

Last year I had a shoulder injury, so I had to change my motion over the summer so it wouldn't hurt. But (yesterday) I went back to my old motion and I felt like myself again. I was getting more snap and power on the ball. Plus, I haven't done well in the last couple of weekends, so I felt like I had to prove myself in this one.

We gave it our all, and that's all you can ask for.
