alive bats fight hit hits home needed run safe stay tie
We had a two-run lead, and I thought it would be safe the way Garrett (Groom) was pitching. After they hit the home run to tie it, our bats were done. We couldn't get the hits we needed to, and we are going to have to fight to stay alive tomorrow.
few guys harder patient plate runs sixth starter threw time took waiting
We got more patient at the plate and the guys started waiting for their pitch. (Manchester) threw harder than their starter so it took some time to adjust, but we were able to get a few runs in the sixth and get the win.
came chance hitting levi struck
Levi had struck out his first two times at bat, and I thought about hitting for him. But he told me, ?Give me one more chance to hit,' so I did and he came through with the big one.
good push teams
I think it's going to be a good one. You've got some good teams that can push each other to be competitive.
