confidence defensive funk guys job levels mentally nice
The guys are doing a nice job and they keep battling. We're just in a little defensive funk right now. It's more mentally than any thing. They just have to keep their confidence levels up there.
bad errors gave sets sixth three
We kind of gave it away in the sixth inning. Errors are bad enough, but when you have three in one inning, that really sets you back.
build early hard lets mind nice paying victory win work
You get out there and you play hard, but a victory lets you know in the back of your mind that all your hard work is paying off. It's early in the year, but it is nice to get a win to build the confidence.
billy gave heck job mound
Billy did a heck of a job on the mound for us. He battled the whole way through. He gave us everything he had.
aggressive easier game stolen
We were pretty aggressive in stolen bases. We were making things happen, and when you are up in the game it is easier to be aggressive.
blowing situation tough wind
We have to do something to make things happen. With the wind blowing in, it was a tough day. We had the right situation up.
couple nice stick struggling
Matt's been struggling with the stick so it was nice to see him get a couple of knocks.
best complete hitting matt second stepped stuff work
Matt really stepped it up. He didn't have his best stuff but went out and pitched a complete game. Our hitting was a little better in the second game. Zach got a big hit with two outs. We still have work to do with hitting and defense.
command five matt
Matt pitched real well for us with five strikeouts and only one walk. He had command of all his pitches.
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.
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 battling bit guys kept says team
That says a lot about our ball club. The guys keep battling with two out and the other team may think the inning is over and let up a little bit and we kept getting the big hits.
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.
