lack ready shows
It's real disappointing. I think it shows a lack of preparation and a lack of concentration. We just weren't ready to play.
game nice odd
It was an odd game. At times we did some nice things and we made some nice plays. Other times we didn't look so good.
beat defenders fast quick teams tough tremendous
They beat us to just about every puck. They have tremendous quickness; the kind you don't see on a lot of other teams. There are other teams with quick forwards, but (Dakota's) defenders are just as fast and it made it tough for us to get shots.
ben
Eli used to play defense. But we put him up there to give Ben a break.
ben both chad games leading nice scoring terry
Ben has been our leading scorer. Terry and Chad haven't really been scoring much, but they both had really nice games tonight.
ball base couple guys hitting needed plays
Offensively, we did what we had to do. We got some guys on base and were hitting the ball alright, but we needed to make a couple more plays in the field.
again bats errors hurt swung walks
Offensively, we swung the bats really well. We just had too many mistakes. Walks and errors have hurt us before and they hurt us again today.
attempting bright pitchers six strikes struck threw
Defensively, we had the six errors, but we were attempting to make plays. You have to look for bright spots. Our pitchers threw strikes and we only struck out once.
air ball dropped lost pop sudden
(Albert Lea) lost a ball in the air and dropped a pop up. All of the sudden we were up 6-0.
nice throw time
Zach pitched pretty well. It was nice to see him throw that well in his first time out.
care expectation game kids losses pitch responsibility roles taking team understand wins
Our expectation is that our kids play the game the right way and take the responsibility of taking it one pitch at a time. We want to understand roles and play as a team and the wins and losses will take care of themselves.
guys pitchers pleased three walked
I was pleased with the way our pitchers threw. We only walked three guys on the day.
confident defensive field solid
I feel pretty confident that we'll be able to field a solid defensive team.
beat dakota good looks teams
They're a real good team. Right now, it looks like Owatonna and Dakota are the teams to beat in the league.
