We're doing a better job with our pitch selection. We were a little slow in developing today, but the second time through the lineup, we made good adjustments on the guy, stayed back and drove the ball the other way.

Brian Toner had a great day today. Brian Smith got the barrel through the ball, Minogue got a couple hits, and we needed everyone of them today. It was a hitters day, tough for the pitchers to establish their breaking balls.
