Their kid threw the ball well as well. It was a true early season pitchers' battle. |
They're good heady players. You can put them in a lot of different places. They responded well to varsity ball over the summer. |
We had an inning like that a week and a half ago and you just can't do that in high school. You can't do it anywhere really. |
We know that we're not going to score a lot of runs so we're doing the little things at this point. We're playing defense, we're pitching the ball well and we're just doing good things. |
We need to defend our home field better. We talked about pride and defending our home turf and getting ready for a big week next week. Hopefully this game will be a springboard to next week. |
We played great defense. It's cold (out here), but our kids defended very well. We threw the ball to the right base and we caught the ball when we needed to. I'm excited about that. |
We preach to our kids about the importance of scoring early and relying on our pitching. We were able to do that today, but we didn't add runs like I would have liked. |
We work on that a lot, especially early on, being able to throw your breaking ball early in the count and get ahead of the hitters without them seeing his fastball first. |
We're not afraid to kick a couple of balls around early in games and get ourselves in a hole. We take so much pride in our defense, but for some reason, we're snake-bitten when we play at home. |
We're pretty much getting on his back. We told him going into the year that he's going to be our guy. |
