Evans pitched great. He was hitting his spots and to compound that we weren't making adjustments (at the plate). |
He's on a pitch count and he used half of them up in the first inning and got me a little nervous. But after that, he really settled in and got in his groove and pitched great. |
I was extremely proud of the pitching staff. They did an incredible job. |
Our defense abandoned us today and it made Joseph throw a lot of extra pitches. |
Same thing, he started off a little rough, but he settled in, never gave up, threw his pitches, didn't put on guys for free and kept us in enough for our offense to do the job. |
We needed (a hit there) with guys on base and didn't get it. |
We've been working a lot with hitting with runners in scoring position and two-strike hitting and things. When you get two strikes, you shorten (your swing) up and try to hit it square. |
You can never take anything for granted especially against Heritage. They fight to the end and some crazy things have happened between these two teams in the past. |
