begin bit conference consistent
We need to be a little bit more consistent defensively as we begin our conference schedule.
against defense despite impressive kids mark picked pitch quality received ricky six start starts victim western
We had six kids start and pitch well during the trip. Trevor (Powers) and Ricky (Leclerc) pitched very well and we received two quality starts from Will (Waldrop). Erik (Morrison) picked up a win, Mark Bulger was impressive and Patrick (Driscoll), despite being the victim of the defense against Western Connecticut, was very effective.
aggressive controlled great hard line nine pitchers played production strike team work
The team played outstanding on our trip. Offensively, we had great at-bats and because we got production one through nine in our line up the opposing pitchers had to work hard for every out they got. The pitchers were aggressive and controlled the strike zone.
behind game wants
Everyone wants to make the playoffs. A game like this is frustrating, but we've got to put it behind us.

I was pumped up for the game. I just went out there and tried to do the same thing I've been doing all year.

We have a lot of depth on this team, both at the plate and on the mound.
against almost attitude best family films grown knew last overall past played playing plays position running seniors success team together watched win
We watched films and knew we would have some success with the running plays that we used in the past against them, ... I think overall this is the best team we've played so far. We're in the same position we were in last year. We need to win the last six. Me being a senior, I want to be able to say they we went 7-3. We've all grown up playing together and it's almost a family attitude more than friendships. The seniors won't give up and it's up to the underclassmen to follow.
start welcome
It was a big welcome back for the whole team. It was a big start to get everyone excited.
certainly coming count difficult four league tournament toward weekends
It was difficult to play in these conditions. You only have four league weekends that count toward the tournament so they're all big and this one is certainly a big one coming up for us.
achieve everybody goals high knows
We have high goals this year. We want to do better than that. Everybody knows what we can achieve and we're working that much harder.
defense goals good quality realistic rivals tough
As usual, Tufts and Trinity will be tough and Bates and Colby are our rivals which makes them always tough to play against. However, I feel our goals are realistic if we do the little things like play good defense and get quality pitching.
momentum seemed
That was a big play and seemed to take away the momentum at the time.
