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.
ahead ball few games happening hitters job last pitchers result run support
Our pitchers need to do a better job getting ahead in counts. Our hitters have to give them some run support for us to win. In the last few ball games that hasn't been happening and the result has not been good.
came committed defense errors hit led played six
We just did not hit and play defense like I know we can. We committed six errors that led to six unearned runs. Auburn came in and played great. I have to give them credit.
batting count final hitter outfield pitching playing season weak
Going into his final season we are going to count on him on the mound, in the outfield and at bat. There is no designated hitter for Alan. His batting and pitching are a plus, and even if he is playing in the outfield there is not a weak link.
again ball classic guys hit pitching played proud second six stayed straight week winning
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.
community giving past successful support tremendous
I want everyone who can, to come out and support us. This fundraiser is important to us. We have been successful in the past with the community giving up tremendous help.
came ready
They came ready to play. They pounded us pretty good.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
fastball record
I don't know if (the 12 strikeouts) is a record or not, but it's close. He really had his fastball working tonight.
