Things just haven't been going our way. It would have been a great win, but they came out on top. We're just trying to put it together and I know we will get it together in the end.

To go 5-5 is just an outstanding performance on her part. (Central) is a solid team. We were right there, but they have solid hitters and came through at the right time.

Lauren is our No. 1 pitcher this year. She's come on strong and is confident.

We did the same thing to them. We took some line drives away and they took some line drives away. You hope that one or two mistakes don't hurt too much, and the defense and the pitching for the most part was pretty solid.

We kept staying aggressive. They got some runs and we had the attitude that we were going to come right back at you.

In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.
