We kicked ourselves in that seventh inning. We could have fallen flat on our face, but after that a couple of balls went our way.

Everyone was a little bit tired and the weather was very cold. Even so, I'm proud of the way we hit the ball. I'm very happy for the girls. We felt we could bring anyone in and get hits and bring runners in.

It's not always the results. Sometimes it's seeing their poise or lack thereof. You want to see if they'll battle when it gets tough.

I've led this empty life for over forty years and now I can pass that heritage on and ensure that the misery will continue for at least one more generation.
