(Albert Lea) lost a ball in the air and dropped a pop up. All of the sudden we were up 6-0. |
(Tyler) played one of his best games to keep us close for the first two periods. They just had a heck of the fleury they had. |
Ben has been our leading scorer. Terry and Chad haven't really been scoring much, but they both had really nice games tonight. |
Defensively, we had the six errors, but we were attempting to make plays. You have to look for bright spots. Our pitchers threw strikes and we only struck out once. |
Eli used to play defense. But we put him up there to give Ben a break. |
He just works hard and never says much. I'm just very proud and happy for him. |
He's grown up as a player and a team leader. He played well on defense all day and still had the energy to get that last goal. |
I feel pretty confident that we'll be able to field a solid defensive team. |
I thought it was a little closer than the final score indicated. We just have to make a few adjustments and hopefully the second time around it will be a little closer. |
I was pleased with the way our pitchers threw. We only walked three guys on the day. |
It was an odd game. At times we did some nice things and we made some nice plays. Other times we didn't look so good. |
It's real disappointing. I think it shows a lack of preparation and a lack of concentration. We just weren't ready to play. |
Offensively, we did what we had to do. We got some guys on base and were hitting the ball alright, but we needed to make a couple more plays in the field. |
Offensively, we swung the bats really well. We just had too many mistakes. Walks and errors have hurt us before and they hurt us again today. |
Our expectation is that our kids play the game the right way and take the responsibility of taking it one pitch at a time. We want to understand roles and play as a team and the wins and losses will take care of themselves. |
