apply bat bunt chance games good great guy job kids move normally playing produced swing three tried
In the first three games this year, there have been some opportunities where we normally would have bunted and tried to apply pressure. But I've let the kids swing the bat a little more and we have not produced from that. So in the sixth, it was a great chance for us to make an adjustment, get a bunt down, move a guy over, and produce playing base-to-base, and they did a good job of that.
ace hopefully produced runs
That's kind of the them of Tuesdays so far. We haven't produced enough runs for our ace to win, so hopefully that will change.
effort few games given good kids last winning
It would be good for the kids to go out on a winning note. The last few games they've given a good effort and done some good things.
last pitching staff
That's a big part of our pitching staff back from last year. That's remarkable, because we didn't think we'd have him all year.
game gives honor looking obviously team tournament
They are obviously the team that everyone is going to be looking at as a team that could be in the championship game because of their experience. It's an honor to have them back here and it gives our tournament a lot of respect.
couple four prevent runs
They got four runs there that weren't pretty, but they got them. There were a couple of things we could have done differently to prevent that, but we didn't do it.
definitely kids knew quiet role solid talk waiting
I definitely think the kids were waiting for Brian's return. They knew he could give us a real solid No. 1 pitcher. I'd probably put him in the traditional role of a quiet leader. He doesn't talk too much, but you know he's going to go out there and get it done.
hitter last natural year
Zane had an exceptional year last year. He's just a natural hitter with a lot of natural ability.
