00:00 I think the biggest thing, you know, you have to have a short-term memory in
00:03 softball and baseball. If you let things linger and linger and linger and you
00:09 keep bringing it up, it does no good. And I've learned the hard way as a coach. So
00:14 if I don't get over it, they won't be over it. So on my drive home, I take 15
00:20 minutes to get home and I just let it all out and that's it. So, but you have to
00:27 start fresh and you have to have a short-term memory because, you know,
00:30 people want to beat you, you know. And I think our group realizes now that the
00:37 Alabama game is circled on everybody's calendar. I don't care where they
00:40 finished, the game against us is circled. So we have to bring our best every
00:44 single time because they are. That's the key. And I think tonight, Beaver was
00:49 terrific. The hitting was clutch. Everything was, the defense was great. I
00:54 think one of the things that people overlook with Beaver is her defense on
00:59 the mound is incredible. She has just been terrific and, you know, I was looking
01:04 at a couple films from previous games and she's taken away two, three hits
01:09 right up the middle that she has reached over her head and nobody else would have
01:13 gotten to them. And she's been terrific on defense.
