baseball came easy kept looked mentally motions physically prepared proud ready stay telling time
I'm proud of them. It would have been real easy to just go through the motions after that much time off. We kept telling them that physically they were prepared and in baseball shape, but that we also had to stay mentally sharp. Tonight, they looked mentally sharp. They came out ready to play.

Brandt Barnes came in and did a fantastic job. He just threw strikes and kept them off balance.

Two conference wins - we'll take them any way we can. We just battled back, chipped away and were able to score some more runs.

We just hung our heads like we felt sorry for ourselves. We no longer had those good at-bats, and the life just went out of the team.

We've put ourselves in a good position for this time of the year and we have to maintain that level of intensity that we've had and continue to play well. There are no state playoff spots determined y e t. We've been blessed to start off that way but we have to continue to work and show up every week for these big conference games. Hopefully we'll continue to play well and earn a spot.
ability behind chance combined coming good guys hitters offense scoring
You get those two guys on and then you have some pretty good hitters coming up behind them who have a good chance of scoring some runs. Those two (Wallace and Barnes) combined have been a big part of our offense because of their ability to get on. Brandt has done great.

There's not a part of our schedule where we can relax.

ball good happen hitting hopefully pitchers plays starting throwing time
That's what we need this time of the year. We need to be hitting the ball and we had a good time at the plate. We're making plays and pitchers are throwing strikes. This is when we need that to happen and it's starting to come together. Hopefully we'll keep it up.

Zach (Hedges) started out a little shaky. But then he settled down and only threw 66 pitches through six innings. That is phenomenal.

Zach did a heck of a job on the mound.
