against experience few games guys nice picked playing road second southern spring stepped successful teams tired trip
It was a successful trip for us to go against southern teams who have a few more games than us. We picked up experience by going out and playing the game. It was fabulous. It was a nice way to end the spring trip with a win. The guys were a little tired and a little road weary. They stepped up that second game and picked up a competitive win.
execution
It's a gutsy play, but it's all about execution.
game pitching ran rough sixth
We ran into some pitching troubles. This is our sixth game here and we're a little rough around the edges.
ball errors hit mental prepared seven sharp six throw top
We hit the ball well, but defensively we had six errors. And you can throw six or seven mental errors on top of that. We were not very sharp and not prepared to play.
baseball committing earlier good playing
We are playing good baseball right now, we are not committing turnovers like we were earlier in the year.
ask ball decent defense errors job nice overall pitchers pitching plate played relay staff throwing
Overall we did a pretty decent job today. We played well defensively. Our two errors were throwing errors on relay plays. They were nothing really major. Our pitchers did a nice job. We don't have a pitching staff that will get a lot of strikeouts. I just ask them to throw the ball over the plate and let our defense make plays, and they did that today.
great hat job pitchers tip
Our pitchers did a great job today, I have to tip my hat to those guys.
behind defense strikes threw work
Zach threw strikes and let his defense work behind him.
ball both fifth games hit nation played ranked
They are ranked fifth in the nation and hit the ball well. We played well defensively in both games and hit the ball decent, considering the pitching.
approach hard means nice paying positives program strides team wins work
As a team and as a program we really made strides in how we play and how we approach the game. There were a lot of positives that we can take away. The wins are always nice to see. It means the hard work is paying off.
best dominated early far numbers pitching played starters team
This is by far the best team we've played down here. We battled with them but their pitching was a little too much for us this early in the season. They had their numbers one and two starters pitching and they dominated us.
continued fact hitting players proud refused stepped timely yesterday
I was especially proud of the fact that they refused to lose. Different players stepped up for us all day long. The timely hitting that we had yesterday continued today.
chance far good guys ourselves played program stick
I think we showed where we are with our program and played with them that first game. It's good for our guys to see that if we play our game, we give ourselves a chance to win. It's a good measuring stick to see where we are and how far we have to go.
ball deserved doubles extra gave hard hit home kept runs wind
They hit the ball hard and with the wind blowing, they deserved the doubles and home runs they hit. We kept up with them, but gave them too many extra outs.
