We told them before the game started that we were going to split the game between both Abby and Whitney. I'm very proud of them. They both had great velocity on their fastballs and a lot of movement on their off-speed pitches.
I thought we did good of putting the ball in play. In this game, you're going to leave runners on when you mix the short game in, which is what we do. We're going to mix it up, make every approach and make adjustments.
This time of the year we look at it one game at a time. We have the advantage of playing at home and we enjoy playing at our field. But Prairie Grove is a good team and it is very explosive.
These kids enjoy playing the game and they enjoy playing it together. Playing well and having fun go together.
It was a tough game for both teams, because we were both coming back from spring break. I'm very proud of the way we played. We hit the ball well, ran the bases well and executed some nice squeeze plays. We also hit for some power.
Abby threw a very good ball game and offensively we put some runs on the board and took a little pressure off the pitcher. I'm very proud of the effort.
For not playing a game in a week, Abby Hutchins looked extremely well. She pitched a great ball game.
