backed bit came count fought found good guy hard hit might next pitch spot
The guy came in with a 1-1 count that was a hard slider, and I hit it off my leg. I was thinking, next pitch he might go back to it again, so I backed off a little bit and really just fought it. It was a good pitch and, fortunately for me, I found the right spot to have it hit.

couple fought games last runs starting struggle
The last couple games have been a struggle for us, and we fought back tonight. We had some opportunities to get some runs for our starting pitcher. But we just didn't have enough tonight.
