This is the most balanced, the deepest and the best hitting team we ever had. We have kids on our bench that would be starting at other schools, but they have a real love for the game and they make it fun.

Lindsay is a really good pitcher, and she has been hitting her spots. I think we fed off her energy because she is so steady.

It was time for a rally, we turned our jackets inside out and from there our bats woke up.

We don?t have to put up a lot of hits to score.

I was so proud of the heart we showed. Over the last three quarters, we fought our way back into the game and had a big surge in the fourth.

It was a back-and-forth, close game all the way. It was one of those games where we were kind of out of sync at times, but we definitely executed when the game was on the line; all eight players contributed to the win.
