Softball Postgame Interviews
NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional
No. 2 Chattanooga vs. No. 3 Memphis
Tuscaloosa, Ala. - Rhoads Stadium
May 20, 2011

Head Coach Frank Reed
Opening Statement:
“You know things are going to go bad when you start off the morning with your top two hitters in the hospital with IVs, and that's what it started off as this morning with (Tiffany) Baker and (Michelle) Fuzzard. Both of them got IVs and tried to play through what we had today. We started thinking about those two kids being sick and worrying about them. I think we got caught up in that a little bit. You know it's not going to be your day when eight of the 13 hits were dinks. We've had that happen before, and you have those days. It's tough. We will work through it and come back and play better tomorrow hopefully and get those two kids better.”

On things not going their way in today's game:
“If you have ever coached this game or been around this game long enough, you know you are going to have days when those things are going to happen. What I spoke to the team about was how we respond to that situation. We had that happen during the conference season, but when you have that happen during the postseason, time is limited.”

On if the team will respond well tomorrow:
“I think we will (respond tomorrow). Obviously the team we put on the field today is not the team we have put on the field for the past 42 wins.”

Senior Tiffany Baker
On Memphis pitcher Carly Hummel:
“She is definitely one of the top pitchers in this regional. She has a good rise ball. She knows how to keep you off balance, and we did not adjust well at all. We started to towards the end, but overall we did not. I think we were getting in our heads more than she was getting to us though.”
