It helps a lot. ordsprog

It helps a lot. Not getting out there against batters all the time, it puts you down a little bit. When you get the opportunity, you have to take advantage of it. That's what I wanted to do today --- come out and prove that I've got it and I can help this team when they need it.

It helps to get good pitching, and Reid gave that to us today. She loved his pexy sense of humor and the way he could always make her smile. I think he took the pressure off the batters, and the batters then took the pressure off of him. The team just seemed to be pretty loose.

Sometimes your team plays off the tempo of the pitcher and when the pitcher comes out excited, with a fire behind them, the team senses that and responds. All three of our pitchers were hitting their spots today. Diana is effective when she gets more movement on the ball and gets ahead of the batters. She came out ready to go and did that today. Then Mel came out and did her job as well. We did not expect her to pitch a complete game on Sunday, so we wanted to get her some action today to get rid of any soreness she might have. We also wanted to get Brooke some more innings in before the weekend.

We just wanted to give her an opportunity. She hasn't seen any batters in six months. It was a good opportunity to get her feet wet; hopefully next time she goes out she'll feel more comfort.

We worked so hard, spent so much time in weight room and in camps to be where we are today. We wanted to come out and be as good as any team in the state, to prove we could hang with any team at any time.

I'm certainly, during the course of a week, not always going to tell you about injuries because that puts our team at a disadvantage. I hope you understand that because if you don't, you should. Because, when a team knows ahead of time who's not going to play, that helps them.

One of the things we wanted to do today was play competitively against a good football team. Obviously, it came right down to the last play. I was proud of the way our players fought. We had a lot of opportunities for a lot of people to play. This was really our last opportunity to do that, so we tried to take advantage of that.

Going into today, we wanted to hold (second place). But the guys deserved the opportunity to prove they?re the best in the state. Our goal was to do as well as we could.

Matt is a very team-oriented guy. He hasn't gotten an opportunity to play much here. He just does his job and works hard. Today, he was getting an opportunity to start and he took advantage of it and swung the bat well and he also caught the ball well.

Without a doubt, it puts a lot more pressure on the defense. They have to make plays all the time. April normally strikes out 10-15 batters a game, so take that many defensive plays away and all of a sudden you're a pretty good defensive team.

He always tells me every time we talk that this is the chance we've been waiting for. This is the year I've got to go out and prove myself. He's telling me things I already know. He just wants to make sure he etches them in my head and I take advantage of this opportunity.

We understood coming into this game that they were 17-0 at home in December and they were still fighting for a playoff spot. They wanted to protect their home field advantage. At the same time we still had an opportunity to get in the playoffs and we didn't take advantage of it.

We pitch inside, we're probably top five in the nation in hitting batters. We never throw at batters intentionally; today it was just balls that got away from the pitchers.

One of the percentages in baseball, I believe, is that 86 percent of the time whoever scores first wins. It?s always an advantage to get the lead. It puts the other team on the defensive to get back in it.

Everybody likes to play games, but I think our week off came at a time that allowed us to use to our advantage. Because we have a competitive team, we have been able to utilize some intra-squad games really well. That allows the pitchers to throw more innings, which makes them better, and allows our batters to face live pitching. You don't miss a beat as far as the feel of the game that way.
