That's the fastest I've seen (Glaze) pitch this year. She felt good, her change-up was in there once in a while and we've got a good defense. Overall, this was by far our best game of the year.

Brittany Schmitt is one heck of a pitcher. We hit the ball pretty well today and we like to run. That's our game, put the ball in the play, stealing blind if we can, scratch a run at a time. I told the kids if we could get three or four runs, we could win.

Glaze has done a nice job. She came on really well at the end last year. Her change-up is out of this world. I don't look for a lot of strikeouts. You just don't want walks, put the ball in play, and our defense is good enough.

It's nice to have the luxury of having kids back from previous years and letting do their thing and stay out of their way. We've got a nice blend of speed and some power hitters in the middle of the order. I've got three pitchers, a couple of catchers. Teams that normally do well are veteran teams.

This win shows progress. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, though. A lot of people picked us to finish last in the conference, so it would be nice to prove them wrong.

We haven't really talked about going to the tournament. We just want to keep playing. ... There is a hunger and air of confidence about this team.
