As a team and as a program we really made strides in how we play and how we approach the game. There were a lot of positives that we can take away. The wins are always nice to see. It means the hard work is paying off. |
Billy did a heck of a job on the mound for us. He battled the whole way through. He gave us everything he had. |
Good pitching, solid defense and timely hitting. |
I think we showed where we are with our program and played with them that first game. It's good for our guys to see that if we play our game, we give ourselves a chance to win. It's a good measuring stick to see where we are and how far we have to go. |
I was especially proud of the fact that they refused to lose. Different players stepped up for us all day long. The timely hitting that we had yesterday continued today. |
It was a nice game for us to win, especially since a lot of these teams we didn't beat last year. We have to kind of earn our stripes in the conference. |
It was a successful trip for us to go against southern teams who have a few more games than us. We picked up experience by going out and playing the game. It was fabulous. It was a nice way to end the spring trip with a win. The guys were a little tired and a little road weary. They stepped up that second game and picked up a competitive win. |
It was just nice to be outside again after the two-week hiatus being back indoors. |
It's a gutsy play, but it's all about execution. |
Matt pitched real well for us with five strikeouts and only one walk. He had command of all his pitches. |
Matt really stepped it up. He didn't have his best stuff but went out and pitched a complete game. Our hitting was a little better in the second game. Zach got a big hit with two outs. We still have work to do with hitting and defense. |
Matt's been struggling with the stick so it was nice to see him get a couple of knocks. |
Our pitchers did a great job today, I have to tip my hat to those guys. |
Overall we did a pretty decent job today. We played well defensively. Our two errors were throwing errors on relay plays. They were nothing really major. Our pitchers did a nice job. We don't have a pitching staff that will get a lot of strikeouts. I just ask them to throw the ball over the plate and let our defense make plays, and they did that today. |
Ryan hit another ball right to the wall. He looked much more comfortable at the plate today. |
