[Roberts] definitely did what he had to do. We tell our guys that great players make plays in great games. |
After today (Friday), what we'll do is go back to our regular emergency management system. |
Any time I can help out for a good cause makes me feel real good. |
Bo did a great job of throwing strikes and letting the defense to play behind him. He kept the ball low, and he gave us a chance to win. |
Great teams make big plays at big times, and they did that. My hat goes off to them. That's why they win so many games. |
He was spotting his fastball. He had a real tight strike zone. |
I told our guys, there's no pressure on us. They're [Elkins] supposed to beat us. They're the No. 2 team. We're just going to play and hopefully we can hold them up and come out with a win. |
I've known (Cindy) for about 25 years, she's always been a community-related sort of person. |
One thing we always do well is run bases. I've got seven or eight guys that are legitimate base-stealing threats. |
The guys stepped up when we needed them to tonight. They hit the ball on a line, and that is what you have to do to be successful. |
Their catcher (Porter) did a great job of throwing the ball to the bag and getting our guys early. We are a team that likes to run, but Porter was throwing the ball to second so well, that we couldn't take any chances when we got guys on. |
We found a way to win and that's the main thing. I don't like the way that we let them comeback, but we did find a way to win. Blake Roberts came in at the end and shut them down for two innings. |
We got up on them big early. But then we let them hang around so long they got confident. |
We lost a little focus and I think we got a little focus back after they got the runs. We're just kind of glad to get out of there with the win. |
We tell our guys that great players make great plays on great days. That is the definition of Blake Roberts tonight. |
