ball broke game home late runs solid though tight
We had some big hits. Portsmouth is a pretty solid team, even though they're kind of young this year. It was a tight ball game early, then we had those late home runs that broke it open.
coming last looking lost seniors seven starters
We're not perfect, but we're looking OK. We lost two seniors last year, but we've got seven starters coming back.
cincinnati everybody game ideally jersey locker playing room teams wants wearing win
Everybody in that locker room wearing a Cincinnati jersey wants to win. There's not a lot of teams still playing now, not a lot of teams still practicing. It's not ideally where we want to be, but if we play our game the way we should, we can win the NIT.
focus game offense players
We just wanted our players to focus on our game and play more efficiently on offense and defense. I think we were able to do that.
ball defense good hop tonight
Tonight we were able to hop on them early. Huntington put the ball in play, but we had good defense for once.
address cause exist interest worthy
Right now, it doesn't exist and never has existed. It would be a worthy cause to address the tribes' interest in Washington, D.C.
ball balls five found hitting last people six today
We've been hitting the ball really well the last five or six games. We hit some balls hard, but right at people too. But today most of them found holes.
best enjoy games great larry seasons
We always enjoy the games between us. We always have great contests. Larry and I have been best friends for 20 seasons out here.
absurd court thankfully
I think it was absurd and the court thankfully reversed itself.
ball clubs confident guys normally played stage took tough
I think it was stage fright. I just didn't see that confident look these guys normally have. And we've played tough ball clubs all year. That really took me by surprise.
ball complain happy hit swings
I think we can hit the ball a little better than we did. I'm not happy with some of our swings at the plate, but that's going to come. We can't complain about 10 hits.
credit games giving kids leaving runners runs seven win
Our kids battled back. I give credit where credit's due, but you won't win many games by giving up seven runs in the first two innings, and leaving 13 runners on base.
great
I think its going to be a great series. But, its going to be real tough.
coming heck last played tonight
Huntington played a heck of a game. And we're coming around. We played a lot better tonight than we did last night.
