A lot of our kids had never played outside the valley before. This was an opportunity to play some teams we wouldn't necessarily play. Getting three (wins) of four is a pretty good step toward where we want to go. |
David did really well the first couple innings keeping the ball down and keeping it in play. He got a little tired and Jonathan came in and gave us the opportunity to keep control of the game. I thought he did pretty well. |
Everyone through the lineup got a hit. |
He pitched very well. He was hitting his spots and the hits he did give up were not hit solid. As a team we weren't able to manufacture any runs, and it is hard to win baseball games regardless how you pitch, if you don't manufacture any offense. |
He was keeping the ball down and made them put it in play so his defense could work behind him. That's what I expect him to do for us. |
I felt that our kids stuck with it offensively. They came up at the end and got the job done. They did what they were supposed to do. |
I just don't think our focus was there (on the game). |
In this game we had a lot of opportunities to get on base. We'd get on with a walk or two, then get a hit and drive guys around. McEwan is a pretty young team and they weren't too deep on the mound. We took advantage of that. |
It was two different ball clubs (from Monday to Wednesday) and that was nice to see. |
It's a big score, but the game was pretty monotonous. |
They hit the baseball. They'd get a guy on and drive him in. Mentally, we weren't in the game. |
We controlled the game from the first pitch on pretty well. When they did they score, it was a situation where we walked a couple guys and had a bad read on a fly ball. We did what we had to do to win and the kids gained some confidence. |
We had 10 errors and only gave up three earned runs. It was pretty bad. We didn't show up -- period. But I know the kids would bounce back and they did against Amity. They we were tentative and it was a different demeanor (Wednesday). |
We played pretty well -- compared to Monday we played a lot better. We hit the ball pretty well -- going inside-out and going the opposite direction and we only had two errors and that was a fresh change from Monday. |
We put four runs up on the board in the first. |
