baseball couple five four freeman good hit looked mental pitching played tomorrow
The more live pitching we'll see, the better we'll get. That was a big hit Freeman had for us. We had a couple of mental breakdowns and looked kind of sloppy, but we haven't played in four or five days. That happens. Tomorrow we'll see good pitching and a really good baseball team.
behind defense last learn pick pitching plays position runners scoring

This group of kids is used to winning in everything they do. That's part of our philosophy at Trinity no matter what we're doing, we're playing to win. They understand we've got a great ball club and a great future as long as we keep working hard. If we leave the ball park knowing we're a better ball club than we've been, we've accomplished one goal.

balls bat couple difference great hit played starting swing
They played great defense. I thought we hit the balls that were going to fall. They made some great plays, and that was the difference in the ball game.

goal hard lucky overcome shots
That's pretty uncharacteristic of the way we've played. It's hard to overcome that. When you're not getting shots at the goal at all ... we were lucky to probably be where we were.
defense extend good guys run stayed talk time
That's something we talk to the guys about over and over in practice. When you get on a good run, you want to try to extend it as much as you can. We got on a good run there and stayed on it and most of the time our defense was fueling that.
