They said I had to play softball here so I made the switch. It wasn't difficult to change to an underhand motion. I've always pitched.

It killed me to have to wait around and not play. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I have a passion for the game and I want to be playing.

Rick noticed that I was seeing the ball better from that side of the plate. It was kind of a natural adjustment for me.

We are a young team ? nine juniors and just one senior ? and we need to supply some leadership for the girls new to the team. We have to bond a little bit more as a team and then I think we will come around.

They're great. They are very important people. We are close.

I need to buckle down and cut down on my walks and I want to work on developing more pitches. I'd like to improve my change.
