ball eighth game gotten hand hard innings seven shut
We just did not shut the door. It's disheartening to play so hard for seven innings and just hand it to them in the eighth and ninth. We may have gotten a little lax, thought the ball game was over.
complain describe effort game good less point saves turning
I wouldn't say that was the turning point in the game. Riley had to make a lot of good saves in the game. If I had to describe our effort (Saturday) I would say it was less than inspiring. We didn't play well but I can't complain too much, we're up a game.
closed easy forced game shots stops
We slowed the game down, got some stops and forced them to take long shots. We got some easy shots and just closed it out.
acceptable focus games lazy lost round team won
We got lazy and we got away from our systems. We did it before in the first round and we've done it in this round. We've lost our focus and to me that isn't acceptable for a team that won 30 games this season.
atmosphere best change demand fans games helps players pressure puts series situation storm win year
It's not so much their players who have been in this situation because they change every year but the fans and the atmosphere of their building. They demand that the Storm win and that puts a lot of pressure on them and helps them win. This series they've been pesky so we're going to have to have our best games if we want to win this thing.
coach games heads pushing tough
It was one of those games where things got tough and we had to keep pushing through. Coach said in the huddles at the end that it was 'winning time.' We just had to keep our heads and get it done.
bowl forward game guys seniors sooner won
It's a Sooner day today, man. The young guys have got something to look forward to. We hadn't won a bowl game in two years, and the seniors got out of here with a win.
definitely extra game good innings last month pulled starting stretched walked win
We had been walked off the last two days, so it was good that we stretched the game to extra innings and pulled it out. It was a good win for us, especially starting a new month and being back at home. Definitely the kind of game that can get you started in the right direction.
focused game great home knew prove
When we were 1-6, all we focused on was that we were better than that. We knew it; we just had to prove it. We've come a long way and it's great to be back to .500 and to know we'll get a home game in the tournament.
doorstep game learn move next teams
We are getting better each day and are on the doorstep of being one of the better teams in the conference. We will learn from this game and move on to our next game.
across blow board chances couple game good hitting open pitchers pressure push puts span turning work
We got on the board early. Span turning on that pitch, that was nice. Situational hitting wasn't very good today. We had chances to blow the game open early. We push a couple across we're in better shape. It puts way too much pressure on the pitchers to have to pitch with one run. So we'll work on our situational hitting.
games giving panic
You don?t want to panic but you just can?t keep giving games away. Things will have to be shaken up.
average bring everybody flying game goals guys next nights obvious realize scores speed team wrap
He scores goals in bunches so its obvious we're going to need him and everybody else to show up for the next two games. When we don't bring our speed to a game we're a pretty average team but on the nights we're flying we're pretty much unstoppable. I think the guys realize what team we need out there to wrap this thing up.
care doubt fun game hard minnesota played supposed took twins
He took care of you, no doubt. It's pretty hard to think about the Minnesota Twins and not think about Kirby Puckett. He played the game the way it was supposed to be played. He made it fun to come to that ballpark.
