ready winning
We are so ready to play. Winning would be great, but we just want to get out there.
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.
conference determined earn four next ready three tough
If you look at the conference schedule, there's going to be a lot determined here in the next three or four weeks. It's going to be tough but that's the way we want it. We want to earn everything we get. We've got to be ready to play.
game hopefully next ready
A lot of that has to do with between the ears. So much of this game is in the mind. Hopefully we'll be ready to go next time.
felt good heads hung life longer sorry
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.
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.
ball good knows last led looked playing problems running sure three tonight week year
We've been playing pretty good ball all year and been playing really good ball the last two or three weeks, and really have not had any problems running the bases. And tonight it looked like it was the first week of the season. Who knows if (they) would have led to a run, but it sure led to an out.
blessed conference continue determined earn good hopefully intensity level maintain ourselves playoff position spots start state time week work year
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.
came fantastic kept strikes threw
Brandt Barnes came in and did a fantastic job. He just threw strikes and kept them off balance.
conference score wins
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.
But we've got to take it one day at a time.
came fantastic game heck job keeping stopped strikes throwing
Barnes came in and did a fantastic job by throwing strikes and keeping them off balance. He came in and stopped the bleeding, pitched a heck of a game and we make adjustments at the plate.
game warmer
I think it's warmer now. That was a much better game offensively.
bats game hits hitting needed plays swung timely win
That was a much better game, offensively. We swung the bats well enough to keep us in the game and we made the plays when we needed too. Timely hitting is what is going to win games. We got the timely hits when we needed them.
