We're still young. The outlook looks good if they come back and play the way they did last year.

The girl on the mound -- being only a (freshman) -- throws the ball well. When you come up against a lineup like ours we have a chance to make you not look so good. Once it starts they are like rabid dogs and it's one after another. I thought she was a very good pitcher that's developing.

(There were) two great pitchers on the mound, so you have to expect a 12-inning game. We're young, but we'll bounce back.

We had a freshman at second. Every year I've had a freshman start and we're starting five sophomores. It doesn't take long for them to get into the action. Once they realize they belong the nerves are gone.

He's getting better and better. He just has to learn to play lower, which he's working on. His hands are excellent. I'm pleased with him.

We have to play to our tempo.
