ball expecting great hitting matter putting
It's what we've been expecting we can do. We have a great hitting team. It was just a matter of putting the ball in play.
ahead approach coming everybody
We just need to go ahead and approach everybody like they're coming after us because they will be.
gave guy mean mound today win
Sometimes when he have our No. 1 guy going on the mound that doesn't mean we're always going to win because we don't always give him support. Today we gave it to Conrad.
breaks extra lead needed run runs
We needed breaks. That's part of the game. Once we got that that lead run in we got some more breaks after that and those extra runs are always nice.
bad felt great pitch threw
I felt like we just didn't play as well as we could. Conrad threw that one bad pitch on that double, but he still threw a great game.
chance compete deal kids playing single
This was a big deal for a lot of the kids to get a chance to play. I just thought these kids would compete a little better than they did. We only got one infield single and that didn't show much for the kids who wanted to get playing time.
behind coming gave hard last might throwing time
We've been coming from behind all year. We thought it might be that way with Hale throwing because he gave us such a hard time last year.
group kids roles
It's a new group and we've just got to get the kids to get used to their roles and each other.
assume ball both games last pitchers seen small
We've seen each other once and you can't assume both pitchers are going to have the same games they did last time. I think both of us are going to play more small ball than usual.
early expect game lose next today
This game today was more important than the next two games. You can't go out and lose a game you expect to win, and if you get up early you can't let up.
blowing came dry field helped might sun time tough wind worked
I thought we might have a tough time with the wind blowing like it was. It helped dry off the field after the sun came out so it worked out for us.
against bad cost couple mistakes pitches seven threw win
We made some bad mistakes against Lewisville that cost us a couple of runs. (Flynn) threw well enough to win that game. He threw only 68 pitches in seven innings. That's an outstanding performance.
advantage blowing decided hard hit knew left playing side signals situation swinging wind
Playing with the wind blowing out we knew anything hit to the left side would be hard to handle. I decided we weren't going to have a lot of signals and just take advantage of the situation by swinging away.
finish good threw
He threw right at 105 pitches. But he didn't want to come out. He wanted to finish it up. I thought he had a really good game.
