close struggling win
Do we want to win? Yeah, we want to win. I don't think we've been struggling ... but we've got to be able to win some close games.
game win
That's baseball. They did more things to win the game than we did.
few good impressed learned positive quality surprised weekend win won
I was impressed with the quality of Elon and I wasn't surprised by that. This was a good weekend for us to get better, and I think we learned a few things about this club. We won the series, but couldn't win them all but I look at it as a positive weekend.
almost came execution game guys situation three tonight weeks win
I told our guys after the game that for almost three weeks we've done almost everything in an execution situation to win the game. But tonight we just came up a little short.
bats coming good offense talking win year
We feel like if we can get a pretty good offense together, we'll win some games. Pitching's been good all year long and the bats started coming around today, which is good because we've been talking about it way too much.
fortunate time win
(Campbell's) been here a long time and he's come up with some big hits. We were very fortunate to win this game.
games good half happy time win won
I'm not disappointed at all. Any time you don't win a game, you're not happy about it. We've won 11 games through the first half of the season, and that's pretty good in this league.
good hard job sunday today win
You win the first two, you want to do a good job on Sunday and try to get the sweep. But it's hard to do, and we just weren't able to do it today because of Crawford.
ball catching certainly good great hard hitting seemed weekend
We just had everything going for us. We were catching some breaks. We were hitting the ball hard and doing a good job, but it seemed like everything was going our way. It was certainly a great day and a great weekend for us.
advantage again balls base extra guys hit patient score strike today took walks ways
We were patient and got some walks and didn't strike out but once, so we took advantage of some things. Today we got some extra outs and were able to score guys that got on base other ways than with hits. We hit balls hard, but again we didn't have a lot to show for it.
baseball bus commercial couple hard move team time
We chartered a couple times in my career, but we go commercial most of the time when we fly, and we try to bus as much as we can. It's hard to move a baseball team commercially.
game great
It was another great game in a great rivalry. It's always a great game when we get together.
ahead good innings obviously outing sat three
(Cruse) was only going to go two or three innings at best, and obviously it wasn't a good outing for him, so we went ahead and sat him down.
against few gave good performance pitch played team
Cruse gave us the performance of his career. I'd like to get a few more hits, but we played about as good as we can and pitched about as good as we can pitch against a team of that caliber.
