She (Hutchins) kept us off balance. We didn't hit the good pitches when she threw them. Then, after that, were behind in the count, chasing. That's what every pitcher wants. Tonight, we gave her that luxury.

There has to be a level of balance that makes sense for the players, for the program, for the fans, for everybody.

A bunch of practice isn't going to be the deciding factor. Our kids need to go home, enjoy the time, go to church and pray and come back on Monday ready to play ball.

I told the kids going into the sixth, ' You got to wreck it here. She's got a perfect game right now. There hasn't been any to reach [base].

Mandy has done a good job of being near the strike zone. She was throwing good enough pitches to get them to chase. Now, the detriment to us is when we have good opportunities to get outs, we hang a ball and they get a get a base hit and score two. That happened a couple of times tonight.

We have a lot of confidence in each other. We're at the point now that when we get runners at second and third with two outs, that's not a big deal. We're still going until there are three [outs].
