Bryant's Thoughts .
"We really had to grind this game out. Our pitchers gave us a chance to win. Our best offensive execution was in the ninth with Ally getting it started with a big pinch hit single, Jourdin following with a great bunt and Irene delivering the winning RBI. It was important to win the series and we had to fight for this one ," said head coach
