EB:How does the rest of the team’s success impact your pitching?

MB: Seeing my fielders make all the plays gives me confidence that we’re going to win and that we are all in this together. and seeing everyone put the bat on the ball and score runs helps give me energy and more confidence to finish the game for my team

EB: Why do you think this team has been able to respond so well in difficult situations?

MB:The team has responded to difficult situations by staying together and when we step in between the lines we all play for each other and put everything on the field.
