I was holding him (at third). It was a shot, but then I saw the ball hit the ground and Jeremy is pretty fast so I sent him. |
I worked with her for 15 years. In my opinion she is the best volleyball official in this part of the state. I know I can attribute my progress as a volleyball official because of working with officials like Kelly. |
One of the big reasons why I was there was due to Kelly's recommendation. She is a great role model as an official. When I work with her I know coaches and players appreciate her knowledge of the game. |
Other than that second inning our pitching was pretty solid. I thought defensively we played a real solid game, making only one error. When it's this cold defense is a little tougher than your usual day. |
The nice thing about volleyball as a sport is that in basketball and other sports, when a match is over someone always is upset with an official and it seems like volleyball is the other way, and especially the way Kelly presents her self. Even losing teams felt they were always given a fair match. |
The power numbers really don't mean much to me. I thought we hit too many fly-ball outs today. I would rather see ground-ball outs. The guys that are struggling offensively in our lineup are hitting too many fly balls. |
There is a clear intent in our mind that they intended to do a home invasion. And during processing they indicated that they intended to do a home invasion. |
We had seven hits there in that first inning. The last three guys in the lineup really picked us up. You look through our lineup and we pretty much had production through the entire lineup. Anything at the bottom is just a plus. |
We have a lot of games to go. When we are struggling we need someone to be a leader and do something positive. |
We picked a good day to bust out in the first inning. We haven't done that since our first game (a 14-4 win over Mahomet-Seymour in March). |
We were embarrassed Tuesday. We had a good practice (Wednesday). We didn't give our pitcher a chance Tuesday. |
What they were after, we really don't know. |
