balls came effort good hit hitting outside ready today
It wasn't just (Carney). Today I just don't think we came out ready to play. There were some balls that were hit that we didn't make a good effort at. And they were hitting some balls that were outside the zone.

Late in the year they really did a good job for us. We need big hitting years from those guys.

base bottom came close couple game hits kids knew mistake order runs together whoever
The bottom of the order came through for us. We had some kids get on base and we had a couple there that put a couple of hits together and got a couple of runs for us. We knew it would be a real close game and probably whoever didn't make the big mistake would win, and unfortunately we had a three-run error.
