In a game like this we didn't expect to be down. The way we answered back in the ninth inning really shows a lot about our team. |
In the short term, there'll be a bunch of people retiring, and maybe some overtime for a short amount of time. Once they start hiring people, they'll hire them at $14, not at $25. It will be a downward spiral again. |
Looking forward? I don't know. But as a competitor, they want another shot. |
Over the trip we played really well. The 6-0 record explains everything. From an offensive standpoint a lot of it was just mental and being able to get everybody their at bats. Everyone is comfortable now and we have our bats going into the conference season. |
Pat has kind of worked his way into some minutes because he's relentless. We call him a kamikaze because he's fearless out there, so Grinnell's style fit him perfectly. |
Probably, again, a lot of little things. |
Two years ago when we played Grinnell in the semis, a lot of our main guys had to play 32, 30, 28 minutes. Tonight we were able to keep those guys in the 21, 22 (minute) range. |
We had to do some other things at that point, but we were still OK and had a chance to win the game. |
