ball bats came four games hanging hard kids looked lost needed next pitches proud run sure swung
We'll take it. We came out and swung the bats early. I told them they play hard at home. They've lost four ball games by one run in district. They made a comeback. I was really proud of our kids for hanging in there at the end. It looked pretty bad. We came back and made some big pitches and got through it. We sure needed the win. We have games the next two days. It was big for us.
guys left
We didn't get it done. We left 11 guys on base.
advantage ball conditions far few games gives past played plays routine surely wet win work
You got to take advantage of your opportunities, and so far we've done that. We haven't played well defensively. If you can make routine routine plays you can win ball games and we have to get to where we can do that. Some of the conditions were a little wet the past few days, but I think we will get better in that area, it surely gives you something to work on.
ball expect game good innings ready
We went 10 innings with them the first time, and I expect it to be a good ball game on Tuesday. They have two good right handers that I expect to face, so we'll try to see what we can do with them, but it's going to be competitive all the way through. You just have to come out ready to play every night.
baseball benefits golf items jersey kids parents related rounds signed
We'll have rounds of golf on auction, baseball related items, signed balls, and an autographed jersey that the kids sign. The parents get different items to sell. It's not just baseball stuff, it benefits everybody.
along breaks chance close door few hat hits jason kids plays rolling seventh tip
I thought we were rolling along really good, but we just couldn't close the door in the seventh. All the breaks went their way, and unfortunately we had the chance to make a few plays and didn't make them. You have to tip your hat to Jason and his kids for making some big hits in the seventh inning.
chance honor kids program senior time
We take anything that we get and put it back into our program for the kids to use. I just think it's fun, especially for our senior kids. They've been here a long time and it's a chance to honor them a little bit.
experience gotten guys lower step strong throwing
He's a strong kid. He's usually throwing in upper 80's and lower 90's. I think it's those guys who have gotten the experience that are going to have to step up and be the leaders.
ball chance good team workout
He's going to give you everything he's got, and he's going to give us a chance to put us in the ball game. I feel confident. The team had a good workout today.
played
We played hard, but we didn't always play smart. We got some opportunities in the game, but just didn't do it.
early feelings few good ready
You'd like to get off to a good start. It's a long season, and you aren't going to be out of it early if you have a few setbacks. If you aren't ready to play every night, you will get your feelings hurt.
continue game hope kids putting result says swinging winning
We are really swinging right now. I think it says something of our kids and what they are doing well. We are winning that part of the game and putting it in play, and as a result we are getting more opportunities. I hope we can continue to do that. It will be a lot of fun.
backup ball close district few game gave goal guys heading hopefully learn practice schedule second start substitute time
Our whole goal is to play better heading into our second game in district schedule and we didn't do that, but it gave some of the backup guys some time to play and we were in some close ball games. You can only practice and simulate that a few times. There's no substitute for that. Hopefully this can be something we can learn from as we start district.
baseball good great kids learn lots weekend
We did some good things today, and got to see some good kids make lots of plays. It was a great crowd, good ballgame, and it was really a good weekend. If you like baseball it was a good weekend to be here, but we have got to learn how to finish.
