Independence is a good hitting team. This is a big win for us.
ball close experience game great pitchers saw threw
It was a great experience to play a close ball game like that. We saw two pitchers who threw very well.
early jump nice score
It was nice to jump out early but sometimes when we don't do that we don't score after.

Shawn really did a good job. He's been battling a sore arm, and he'd thrown around 90 pitches and we could see he lost some zip on his fastball.
bat early faced few settled starter swinging three walked
(Shawn had a few jitters early - walked the first two he faced - but he settled down. He's our no. three starter and he's swinging the bat well too.

The kids knew we played bad the day before and they stepped up.

We just need to keep this going. We just want to hit the ball and make plays like we've been doing. We didn't give up a bunch of walks which is always nice to see going into the playoffs.
both confident high school throw
We feel very confident with those two on the mound. Both can throw in the upper 80s and throw it right by 80-percent of high school hitters.
decent
If we can just play better defense. We can be a pretty decent club.
came charlie consider lee night threw usual
I wouldn't consider it an off night necessarily. But Charlie just didn't have his usual stuff. But Lee came in and threw well.
