alex charlie glad last next three
Charlie pitched the first three innings. Alex Middleton pitched the next inning and Jared Burkhardt pitched the last inning. I was glad to get them all in.
best came definitely four game innings last lowest three year
The first four innings was probably lowest we've been all year defensively. We didn't play well, but the last three innings we came around. We definitely didn't play our best game of the year.
ball charlie continues four hard hit hope hot leading night stays tonight tough worrying
That was two back-to-back triples leading off that inning. Patrick hit the ball hard all four at-bats. The two triples he hit were hard-hit balls. I hope he stays hot this weekend. I hope Charlie continues to hit well. He had a tough night tonight with one hit, but I'm not worrying about Charlie.
batter guy hit last lead next third
We had a 10-5 lead going into the last inning. We had two outs and then the third batter got on on an error. The next guy got hit by a pitch.
concentration looked lost might save trying
It looked like he might have lost a little concentration in the fourth. We're trying to save Patrick's elbow. I don't want to over-use him too much. He hasn't wanted to come out. He just said it was a little sore.
alex arms charlie confident consistent game looking main strikes throw throwing
We've relied on Patrick a lot this year, but I feel confident in Charlie, Alex and the others. We've got the arms there. If we can get them to throw strikes that's my main concern. Charlie is our most consistent throwing strikes after Patrick. That's what I'm going to be looking for in the first game of the tournament.
ball bat gets good hopefully hot job juggling looking somebody stay step swing
We're still juggling the lineup. We put Preston Edwards in the leadoff spot, and he's done a good job for us. He put the ball in play. We're still looking for somebody to step up. When Patrick gets hot, he gets hot. He did swing a good bat for us. Hopefully he can stay hot for us.
good tomorrow
We have to go up there tomorrow and play good ball.
five focus hoping intensity last left looking night seemed win
We were hoping we could get that one over in five innings. We're still looking for that No. 2 pitcher. We didn't have the same intensity and focus we had last night (at St. Al). That was a big win last night, and it seemed like we left some of our intensity in Vicksburg.
bats cathedral changing coming hopefully normal people playing start struggling swinging throwing together
That's where we're struggling at right now swinging the bats and throwing strikes. We hadn't been playing normal Cathedral baseball. We've been struggling offensively and on the mound. We've been changing some people up and down in the lineup, and hopefully things will start coming together for Monday.
behind came charlie drove
Jesse Morrison came up and drove one in, and Charlie came up behind him and drove two in, which was big.
goes judge pitcher type
Judge is a different type of pitcher than Patrick. He goes right after batters.
base came number people strikes threw
His our number one. He came in with people on base and threw strikes and that's what we needed.
best both game good knew people talking team year
I knew we weren't as good as people were talking about. We started out 5-0, and Vidalia was the best team we played. And that was the first game of the year for both teams. When Patrick (McDonough) is on the mound, I feel good. And Zach (Calhoun) pitched well today. When you're as young as we are, we've just got to make the plays.
