He hit his spots really well. He got ahead of the batters. I think that's probably the biggest thing he did (Thursday) as compared to the last time he pitched. |
It does give you an advantage. But we've never gone down south in 20 years, and it hasn't really hurt us. |
The last game he started, he had some trouble with walks. The rain-outs probably helped us. We were able to work with him the last two days in the gym and he did what we asked him to do; keep the ball low and in on their hands, just throw strikes basically. |
When you can start the section against the perennial power, Wash High, and play like we did, it's a good way to start. I told the kids before the game, that no matter what happens, it's only one game. But it's nice to win. |
