build depth momentum pitching
You get momentum from pitching and defense. Our whole idea was to build depth in that pitching staff.
conference depth games gets nice pitching playing since three tired weekend
Since we are playing three conference games a weekend and some mid-week games, we have to have the pitching depth we do. It's nice to have because you know when someone gets tired you'll have someone else to come in and always make something happen.
continue great honor pitch
It's a great honor for any pitcher. He pitched well, but he's got to continue to pitch well.
ball carried gone good guys home normal pitches runs saw wind
I don't know if some of those home runs would have gone out on a normal day. But the guys saw some good pitches and the wind carried the ball well.
count eggs ends good goose pitch strikes threw
Those are the things we need in mid-week games. He put a lot of goose eggs up, he threw strikes and his pitch count was low. It ends up working out pretty good for us.
bad josh paid pitch until
Josh just made one bad pitch and he paid for it. He pitched really well until that one pitch.
bottom expect great line lower pitching score throwing weekend
We've been throwing really well. After a weekend of great pitching you couldn't expect it again, but it happened. The bottom line is, the better the pitching, the lower the other team's score is going to be.
biggest conference played team tough
The biggest thing is we got the win. No team in the Mid-American Conference is going to give up. When things got tough we played harder.
early few hits knows
It's disappointing we couldn't get a few more hits and make a few more plays. If we could have just done a little more early in the game, who knows what would have happened.
ben few good guys innings next struggled
Ben had a few first good innings and then struggled just a little more than we would have liked. But then the next few guys did well and pitched good innings.
came count hits obviously senior time
We got a lot of big hits today. They just came at the right time and J.T.'s was obviously a big hit. He's a senior and someone that we count on to come through for us.
hits score slower
We kind of started a little slower today. We were getting hits but we just couldn't score any runs.
couple errors six unusual walks
It was uncharacteristic of us. We had a couple of unusual errors, but we still made them. If you would have told me we'd have 10 walks and six errors and still be in the game, I would have been surprised.
batting bottom depth few guys helps hit middle others
Batting depth is very important in a game. Sometimes a few guys won't hit well at the top, but a few others in the middle or bottom will, and it really helps when that happens.
