(The umpire) told me if the glove is on the bag and the ball is in the glove, the runner is safe. That was a bad call. But it didn't cost us the ball game because we made too many mistakes. |
He hasn't pitched in a week and I wanted to get him as much work as I could before spring break. He did a great job. His curve was working better late than early. When he got it breaking, he really kept Lincoln off balance. |
I told him that it was a bad call. But it didn't cost us the game. |
It's good for them to come out the way they did. I am just proud the way they showed up today. I had a couple players gone and a couple of them stepped up and played really well for us. |
Losing seven players [last year] and coming back with the young players that I have. We are really happy with the way that they have performed. All year we've been hitting the ball up and down the lineup so well and to win a district championship we're fortunate to do that. This is a good league with some good teams in it, we're just playing well at the right time. |
Our top four hitters, if they don't get going, it's hard for us to get going as a team. When they get going for us, we play well, and when they struggle, we struggle. |
Sometimes you got to take advantage of what they give you. They gave us some wild pitches and let our runners advance. |
That was a quality effort by (Roberts). I thought my guy did the same. It was a pitcher's duel. |
The kids are hungry enough they will bounce back from this. We've got to; we have no other choice. We've got to get back to what we do best: Hit the ball and playing good defense behind good pitching. |
This was big. To lose seven kids from last year, and have a bunch of sophomores step in and play. That's outstanding. I can't say enough about the effort. |
This was our Super Bowl and the girls responded very well. And it was good that we made some key free throws down the stretch. |
To lose seven kids off of our team from last year and for our sophomores to step up and play like they have this year, it's outstanding. I'm speechless... it's amazing that we could do that back-to-back. |
We didn't play real well in that first game. It wasn't really bad, but we just weren't very aggressive at the plate like they've been taught to be. |
We don't have a lot of walks. We're throwing a lot of strikes, and working the corners real well. Our pitchers are doing a good job. |
We hadn't played all of spring break, so I was kind of worried about that. But I was proud the way we showed up today. |
