Opening statement…
"I'm proud of the way we came out with good energy and a good mindset. I thought we had a really good day of practice yesterday, even though it was rainy, we got better. Then we brought that in today. Chelsea [Wilkinson] did a really good job after Wednesday night, made some adjustments to some of the stuff that Randi [Roelling] was doing with her pitches, and I thought she was really sharp tonight."
