capable defense game good gotten great group pitching
We had gotten good defense and good pitching all year. But it was a great game by Shelby. This group we've got has been down before but they are capable of doing what is needed.
coach kept springs team
That was the difference-execution (late in the game). You've got to give Coach Springs and his team some credit. They kept their composure.
adjust approach game hitters junior metal obviously played playing
It's a little different because in junior college, we played in a wood-bat league. So playing with metal here, it's going to be a change. But I'll just have to adjust to how the hitters are. The metal-bat game is obviously a lot different in the way you approach hitters.
couple fought games last runs starting struggle

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.
