ball change compared direction errors fresh hit monday opposite played
We played pretty well -- compared to Monday we played a lot better. We hit the ball pretty well -- going inside-out and going the opposite direction and we only had two errors and that was a fresh change from Monday.
against bounce demeanor earned errors gave kids three
We had 10 errors and only gave up three earned runs. It was pretty bad. We didn't show up -- period. But I know the kids would bounce back and they did against Amity. They we were tentative and it was a different demeanor (Wednesday).
bad controlled couple fly gained game guys kids pitch situation walked win
We controlled the game from the first pitch on pretty well. When they did they score, it was a situation where we walked a couple guys and had a bad read on a fly ball. We did what we had to do to win and the kids gained some confidence.
ball clubs monday nice
It was two different ball clubs (from Monday to Wednesday) and that was nice to see.
committed door early fifth game opened seven struggled
We'd struggled early in the game and committed seven errors, so we opened the door for them to take it from us. About the fifth inning we kind of got things going with the bats.
board four runs
We put four runs up on the board in the first.
ball came control couple david gave innings jonathan keeping opportunity tired
David did really well the first couple innings keeping the ball down and keeping it in play. He got a little tired and Jonathan came in and gave us the opportunity to keep control of the game. I thought he did pretty well.
game
It's a big score, but the game was pretty monotonous.
four good kids opportunity outside played step teams three toward valley
A lot of our kids had never played outside the valley before. This was an opportunity to play some teams we wouldn't necessarily play. Getting three (wins) of four is a pretty good step toward where we want to go.
ball behind defense expect keeping work
He was keeping the ball down and made them put it in play so his defense could work behind him. That's what I expect him to do for us.
focus
I just don't think our focus was there (on the game).
advantage deep drive game guys hit team took walk
In this game we had a lot of opportunities to get on base. We'd get on with a walk or two, then get a hit and drive guys around. McEwan is a pretty young team and they weren't too deep on the mound. We took advantage of that.
baseball drive guy hit
They hit the baseball. They'd get a guy on and drive him in. Mentally, we weren't in the game.
baseball games hard hits hitting regardless spots team win
He pitched very well. He was hitting his spots and the hits he did give up were not hit solid. As a team we weren't able to manufacture any runs, and it is hard to win baseball games regardless how you pitch, if you don't manufacture any offense.
