At the beginning, I was getting a little bit panicked because he's definitely our number one (starter). That was as hard as he's been hit by far all year. He was just leaving the ball up. You can't leave the ball up in this league. |
Ben had a pretty good day. His last home run was huge. |
He's pitched three games well against three really good teams, he just didn't get the win. This time he made sure we was going to get a win. |
I can't put my finger on why these guys are not hitting in the clutch. I don't know what it will take to get them going. There's not one thing I can say to them. They have to make it happen. |
It's been remarkable. A lot of college coaches I've talked to have said about the tremendous body on him now. College coaches are big on that. They want all their players to look alike. He really worked on it and that's a credit to him. |
Offensively, we left way too many men on base. And defensively, we made two mistakes today and they both cost us a run. Actually, that one in the seventh cost us more than one run. But we just have to get more guys hitting the ball after Adams. The guys behind him have got to do their job. |
We went from having all kinds of momentum to a complete switch with that double-play ball. |
When we're going good, we've been real good. But we've gotten down in a few games and just haven't been able to come back. We really needed that. The kids need to know that they can come from behind and compete and win a big game like this against an excellent team. |
