Now that we've got an idea about what teaching openings we have, that's one of the nice things when your school district is growing. You have the opportunity to bring teachers in, because there's a demand there. Obviously we want a quality teacher and a quality coach.
approach came definitely felt forest fortunate game grove jump pleased talked today win
We definitely talked about that. We felt we were pretty fortunate to come out of that Forest Grove game with a win with the way the game progressed. To come out with a win, it should have jump-started us for this week. We definitely talked about that with these guys. I was pleased with the approach today that they came in with. We were able to jump on them early.

It seems to be from top to bottom. Today we didn't hit as well as we have from top to bottom from the last couple of games, but we've had guys that are coming through for us.

It was a real gutsy performance by him. We brought him in on two days rest. We very, very seldom do that. His pitch count was low at Dallas. We thought he would come back and we would ride him as long as we could. We had guys ready to go. He felt good. He had his best stuff that we've seen all year. He threw exceptionally well.
awful bit good happen hoping next shape three week win
It was an awful big win for us. I'm hoping it jump-starts us a little bit for next week. If we have a good week and happen to get two or three wins, we're in real good shape after the first round.

That made us nervous. Were the students going to show up the next week? They did.

We struggle to stay away from one bad inning. When we get that figured out where we can do that, we'll be all right.

I probably started getting recognized with the Prospects over the summer. Summer is different. It's more challenging because you're going against teams that have the top-rated guys in the country.
awful bunt defense handle kicked spend time
We kicked it around and didn't handle bunt defense really well. As a coach, that's a little frustrating to me because we spend an awful lot of time on it. It didn't look that way today.
basically chad extremely pleased run sixth support threw thrown today
We were really pleased with Chad Jones. He threw really well. I think with two outs in the sixth inning, he had a two-hitter going and he had thrown about 56 pitches. He pitched extremely well as he has basically done the whole year. Today we were able to give him run support which we haven't done.
