break good guys ready rested stretch time winning wonderful
This break comes at a good time for us. It would have been wonderful to go into it on a winning note. We need this time to get our guys rested and ready to go for the stretch run.
ball came games guys hitting several
I can't say enough about our guys and the way they came out to play. We're hitting the ball real well and that's something we need to keep doing because we'll have several more games like this left.
game guys perfect
I told the guys it wasn't perfect, but it was as perfect a game as we've had in a long time.
course four game good guy knocking losing plate production runs scoring three
Without him, we were good for three or four errors. Of course when you have a guy at the plate that is scoring two or three runs a game and is knocking in two or three, you are losing four-five runs of production without him.
calming couple errors four good guys influence three
We are good for about three or four errors without him. When he was out, we had to make some shifts in our lineup and play a couple of guys out of position. He is a calming influence while out there on the field.
baseball blink bunch change focused game great guys playing season stay
Our guys are just playing great baseball right now. Things can always change in the blink of an eye, but I think this bunch will stay focused and take this season one game at a time.
counted guys help season week
Our young guys got to play a lot this week and that will help us down the road. It is a long season and you never know when one of those guys will be counted on to come in and make plays.

I am very proud of my guys for winning the Boll Weevil Classic for the second straight year. It was a long week in which we played six games, but they stayed focused. We hit the ball really well this week and once again our pitching was outstanding.

chance further great last plenty work
We feel we have a great chance to get back where we were last year. We can also go even further with plenty of work and dedication.
against ahead backs complete expect pitchers played region tough wall work
This is a tough region that we play. We can't put our backs against the wall like this and expect to win. They made our pitchers work and got ahead in the counts. They played a complete game.
catch effort shut team
In years past, we'd get a big lead, shut down and let the other team catch up. We didn't quit, and that's the kind of effort we'll need all year.
upside
If there is an upside to this game, it's that we didn't quit.
