came command despite games good key needed pitches pitching tough victory
He didn't have command of his pitches like in other games, but he battled and pitched well in tough situations. It was a hard-fought pitching victory for Donnie. He battled and came through with key outs when we needed it, despite not having real good command of his pitches.

His control wasn't as sharp as in the past. Windsor is a good hitting team. ... He pitched a strong game despite not being as sharp with his control.

He pitched a strong game for us. He did a nice job in the third.
ball easier good hit nice quality start
We hit the ball real well and had some good quality at-bats. We got off to a nice start and made it easier for (pitcher) Donnie (Potter) and our defense.
clutch good nice night win
Offensively, it was big-hit night. We had some clutch hitting, which was nice to see. It was a good win for us.
ball key pulled sixth together walked
It was 3-1 going into the sixth and we pulled them together and said we're right there with them. Just to keep battling. That's what we did. We pieced it together and in the seventh, they walked some, we put the ball in play and had some key hits.
ball base coming figure good key parts runs score time tough
We're just having a tough time coming up with a key base hit. We have to figure out a way to score some runs in the important parts of the game. I think we're going to be a good ball team, we just need to get some hits.
ball change hit late speeds strikes threw
We didn't change speeds much late in the game. We let him go after people. He threw strikes and we hit the ball really well.
good pitching quality score
They're a quality team. Hopefully, we can get some good pitching and score some runs.
odd
That's kind of an odd statistic. You don't see that too often.
clutch defense performance pitching runs strong
Another strong pitching performance for us. Our pitching and defense has been good, we just have to come up with some runs and clutch hits.
confident fine great
He's going to be a great leader. I'm confident he'll do a fine job.
home
We looked. Sometimes, there's no place like home.
close steal talked
We talked about that after the game. We probably didn't need to keep (Palmieri) close (to second). I don't think he was going to try and steal third.
