He was battling. He was throwing strikes and he had a lot of pop on his fastball. He was locating it really well. |
It was a well-played game. Our kids came out and competed, which was good to see after a long break. |
We just jumped on them right from the start. We put the pressure on them, which was good. |
We tried to bust him on the inner half of the plate and we missed. It was a gamble that we took ? we didn't want to let their best hitter beat us ? and then their next kid stepped up and got a big hit. |
We're not going to overpower anybody on the mound, but we've got some guys that can throw strikes. That's what we need. |
