Steve Wammer Quotes (14 Quotes)

Our pitchers came out and threw a couple of good games. They threw strikes and took (care) of business out there.

They're a good team. They're ranked in the top 20 in the country for a reason. In the first game, they just played better than we did. In the second game, we had some chances to do some things and we just couldn't get it done, which was a little frustrating.

Adding Nordic skiing to our roster of sports is just one more way we are increasing the opportunities for Northland College students, as well as attracting new students. We've found the students who come to Northland thrive on outdoor sports, like skiing. Our location is a prime for skiers and we are really pleased to offer this competitive opportunity.

Leah hurt her back before the game and went two innings. We then went to Sam but we dug ourselves a little hole.

It was kind of a tough situation for Leah. She was coming off a perfect game the last time out. And it was senior day, which adds even more emotion to it. But she did a really nice job of settling down. And the team responded in the final couple of innings.

Our pitchers are doing a great job for us right now. They are getting ahead of the hitters and are putting the ball in play for our fielders to make plays.

Leah had a great year. She had some injuries early and we had to kind of watch her a little bit. But by the end of the year, she was on top of her game.

The biggest thing I noticed in Alicia was how well she played in the field. She's already a good hitter. But she really improved as an outfielder and for her to make the all-defensive team is really special.

When Leah got hurt, Sam was kind of our only pitcher. She went through a stretch where she had the ball every game and she handled that very well. And once they started pitching in tandem, it helped us a lot.

There is no one more fitting to throw our program's first perfect game. She's been here for four years and she's had a lot of one- and two-hitters. But today, it all came together for her. She was in full command from the start. She's a bulldog. Every time she pitches, you know you have a chance to win.

We had a good week. We're 7-7 now, and we got a chance to get a lot of games in with nice weather. I think this is the strongest up and down lineup we've ever had. Defensively we gave up a lot of unearned runs. We're trying people in new positions, and it was the first time outside. In the next two weeks we'll try to shore up the defense.

We were pretty close. We had a lot of games that we had a chance to win and couldn't get over the hump. But that's a good sign and in the next couple of years, we'll hopefully start being able to win some of those games.

We had many good things this weekend, but the results weren't what we were looking for. We had three games that we lost by one run, and in the fourth one, we had a lead. It's disappointing we couldn't pull out a win.

Sam pitched very well today. She's at her best when she is throwing strikes, getting ahead in the count and putting the ball in play so the defense can make plays behind her. She did all those things today.
