Any time they can get to Best (they're in a good position). He is outstanding. |
Everything we could have wanted out of Clegg, we got. I wish we could have gotten him the win, but we didn't play good enough defense to hold it. |
He just wasn't quite sharp enough with his curve. His breaking ball wasn't quick enough at times. When your starter gets in trouble like that, you want him to fight through it, but I probably waited too long to pull him. |
He's a guy that knows the strike zone well. We'll be giving him more opportunities. |
He's a guy that will find a way to get the job done. He's an established hitter, but he'll walk or get hit by a pitch. Any number of things that winning players do, that defines Ben Woods. |
I am sure the other coaches in the league had a hard time deciding where to place our players on the All-Conference team, just as I did placing theirs. |
I don't know whether to be happy or sad. This was an ugly, ugly game. The positive is that we continued to hit the ball well, but we didn't play very good defense, and we didn't pitch very well early in the game. |
I hope they enjoyed our baseball team. We had a very nice clinic for young kids that went well. It was a good day for our program and a good day hopefully for the city of Ozark. |
I like the way he handled the whole thing. I want him to be a part of the program and to go out as a senior the right way. I hope he makes us proud. |
I never put much stock in preseason polls, especially when it is the first season in a new conference. I appreciate the respect shown our program by the other coaches in the league, but everyone knows it is where you finish the season that counts the most. |
I thought it was very special. I talked to his wife, mother-in-law and see the baby. I thought it was great and Ben had a good day and kept his streak alive. All and all, it was a very good day for us. |
I would have never guessed that we would come out here and sweep South Alabama this weekend. But what a way to get us off and rolling in a new conference. We have been telling our guys all year that they are good, but it is another thing altogether to sweep a three-game series from South Alabama. |
I would like to play a game or two in Montgomery, like we used to do. It's a beautiful ballpark and, if they'll have us, we'd like to play there at least once a year. |
I'd say it's a pretty big loss for us. He was well on his way back to pitching for us again. |
It is a game of inches, but we just couldn't get one to go our way tonight. Still, I am proud of our group. They played hard tonight and showed that they are learning how to compete. |
