He's one of the best defensive players I've ever coached, so when it happened nobody got down and they overcame it. |
Matt was certainly on his game tonight. He played a complete game on offense and defense. He got us off to a good start on the season. |
Somehow, some way we got it done. I told the kids we got the monkey off our back and I don't care how we did it. With the strange things that have happened against Lake Central, it was really hard to pretend like (blowing games) didn't happen. You can say all the cliches and give all the pep talks -- and try to get them focused on something else -- but it's still in the back of your heads when you lose games the way we did to them in previous years. It was tough tonight, but we got through it. It was ugly, but we'll take the win. |
They're really working on their swings. I guess we're just a little more mature as hitters this year. |
We came out swinging the bats today. I was especially pleased with how many times we swung at the first pitch. We play better when we play aggressive, and we did a good job of being aggressive tonight. |
We need to look at what we're doing hitting wise, we're not getting done. At this point, it is mental. We need to figure out how to hit the ball again. |
