That made us nervous. Were the students going to show up the next week? They did. |
That was nice to see. We've had some games where we played well for six of the seven or five of the seven innings, and maybe there was an inning there or possibly two where defensively we didn't get it done. I thought today we played well. |
The game was a little bit closer than what we thought. We ended up going with him for five innings. He threw extremely well. |
This is like a state tournament for some guys that will never experience the state tournament because of the amount of teams and quality they will face up here. |
This was a game that we thought we obviously had to have. It kind of keeps us in the hunt a little bit. |
Walkup's an incredible player to do what he did to keep them in it. |
We definitely talked about that. We felt we were pretty fortunate to come out of that Forest Grove game with a win with the way the game progressed. To come out with a win, it should have jump-started us for this week. We definitely talked about that with these guys. I was pleased with the approach today that they came in with. We were able to jump on them early. |
We did fairly well. Everybody won two matches except for one guy. That's usually one of our goals. I just like coming to this tournament because of the competition that we get. Even though we might take some losses for our record it'll pay off in the long run come tournament time at the end of the year. |
We don't want Rock Canyon (Elementary) to die the way Wasatch nearly died and Joaquin did die. |
We got down and maybe pressed a little bit. It kind of snowballed from there. |
We haven't made those errors in four games. That's made a huge difference. Our pitchers are pitching well and we are playing good defense behind them. |
We hit the ball much better. It wasn't one or two guys. It was throughout the lineup. We had quality at-bats. |
We kicked it around and didn't handle bunt defense really well. As a coach, that's a little frustrating to me because we spend an awful lot of time on it. It didn't look that way today. |
We set a goal at the start of week to be 3-0. We accomplished that goal. It puts us back in the hunt. |
We struggle to stay away from one bad inning. When we get that figured out where we can do that, we'll be all right. |
