Zacuto just keeps getting big hits for us, and Salvo came through, too. He hadn't been hitting that much, but he got one when we needed it.

bats best five gonna good hits pitcher swinging win
We only had two hits in the first five innings, and you're not gonna win very often doing that. We've been swinging the bats good lately, but it just wasn't our night. That was their best pitcher and he did a good job.

From what I hear from people, Ryan has done some great things in this outfield the past couple season. He struggled through some injuries last season but is fully healed and ready to go this year.
ahead bother credit guy soft strikes stuff threw
Give their guy credit, he threw a lot of soft stuff up there, but he threw a lot of strikes and got ahead of the hitters. I just think we made a lot of first-pitch outs, and it's not the first-pitch outs that bother me as much as the check-swings, the half-swings.

Hector had a nice game at shortstop for us. I felt Eugene Julien was a little rusty out there, so I gave him the night off. Hector made some nice defensive plays in the field, got a big hit and drove in a big run.

beavers came cold game great hot job kevin lately losing needed second strong tough
Kevin Beavers did a great job in the second game. He got a little tired. Beavers has been hot and cold this year, but lately cold. He came out strong and we needed the game after losing a tough one in the first game.
coach win
I know I'll never win championships here like Coach Colombo did for all those years, but he told me a lot of things about what Brockton is about.
couple good last looked self sharp stuff usual
I don't think Dorn was his usual sharp self tonight. I really don't think he has had his really good stuff the last couple of starts. I don't know why, but that's how it looked to me.
proud terms
I'm very proud of what this organization has done in terms of our involvement in the community,
