The next night our team just wasn't up for the game. We made a lot of bad plays. Robinson had a good little team, but that was a hard loss to take.

She pitched a real good game and kept us off balance. It's unusual for us to not hit the ball. We just weren't disciplined enough. But you've got to give (Smith) credit.

They've waited a year for this.

I'm not using any excuses. There were a lot of things that affected us last year.

Deanna is a great pitcher, one of the best pitchers in the state. She does not get enough recognition for what she's capable of doing.
