road seed three tough win
We've got a really tough road but if we win those three I think we can get the No. 1 seed in the district.
ball blowing stay straight tough wind
I wanted us to stay back and go the other way, put the ball in play especially with the tough wind blowing straight in.
errors four game tough
It's tough to let a game get away like this. You can't have four errors. Errors always come back to get you.
atmosphere bad break counts instead letting pitches sit spring swinging tougher wait
It was a spring break atmosphere and it's tougher to get focused. We didn't sit back and wait for the pitches. We were swinging at bad pitches on 2-0 counts instead of letting them go.
against coming games good lose losses road three top tough week
We want to be the top seed. Manatee has three losses in the district, but they could lose again. We have a very tough week coming up -- three games on the road all against good teams. If we play well, we'll have a chance.
against backed ball district four friday games guys hit last seed southeast win
We started last Friday against Southeast with four district games in a row. We had to win them all to be the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the district. The guys really hit the ball well (Tuesday night) and backed up our pitching.

We'll see what kind of team we have.

Our philosophy is to work hard and that's all we know how to do. We played Venice baseball like it's supposed to be played.
high lost played proud supposed venice
We played the way Venice High is supposed to play. Even if we would have lost tonight, I still would have been proud of the way we played.
anderson fast great hits sneaky step strikes throws
It's great to see Anderson really step up. He throws strikes and is sneaky fast and hits his spots.
tried win
It's respectable. But we tried to win them all.
beat good nice played ranked senior team
It was nice to beat a ranked team on senior night. We played good baseball.
anytime ball breaking call good plate three
Struble has a good breaking ball and good change-up. You can call it anytime and he is always around the plate with his three pitches.
pitcher
Their pitcher was great. We didn't make the adjustments on his curve.
