It's GO TIME!

Ladies - I wanted to throw a few things at you - is your butt down and head up? Cause here we go:

It's tourney time! Our PLAC tourney is tomorrow (Saturday, 6/20). Please be on time in the morning - 8:20 am at the Paoli HS field. There is no team in this tournament that we can't play with - we've said all along that we wanted to improve as the season unfolded so we'd be playing well come conference time, and I know you guys are ready! It's going to be important for us to focus on each pitch, hustle every play, and battle each game. No one is going to hand us a win, so we have to take it from them. It's go time!

I want to encourage you all to be supportive of your team-mates. There is a chance that some girls may not play much depending on the game situation. If you are sitting out a game, you can help your team by staying focused on the action on the field, and being ready to help in any way (such as pinch running, warming up the right fielder, etc.). It's going to be hot, and we may need to rest some girls - be ready to do your best when you get the chance!

Preparation for tomorrow's game begins TONIGHT. Get a good night's sleep - if you looked at the brackets, there are games scheduled all the way until 9 pm (12 hours after our first game!). Since it will be hot tomorrow, be sure and drink each time you come to the dugout, even if you aren't thirsty. And remember that the game isn't happening on your cell phone in a text message - it's on the field. That's where your attention should be! (Just sayin' . . . )

I'm proud of the way that you guys have grown as a team. Now let's focus, battle and hustle tomorrow and bring home a title!
