allow coming credit early guys ton
I give a ton of credit to our guys for coming back. We were down early and we could've folded the tents, but we didn't allow that to happen.
allowed bit fifth four great lost starts threw tired
Jake threw a great game. He tired a bit in the fifth and lost a little of his control, but in four starts he still hasn't allowed a run.
best double plays possible seen took
That was one of the best plays I've seen an outfielder make. He took a possible double away from them.
ball base caught cold defended excited great kids needed played threw
We played great defense. It's cold (out here), but our kids defended very well. We threw the ball to the right base and we caught the ball when we needed to. I'm excited about that.
ball good pitching playing runs score
We know that we're not going to score a lot of runs so we're doing the little things at this point. We're playing defense, we're pitching the ball well and we're just doing good things.
defend defending field game home hopefully next pride ready talked week
We need to defend our home field better. We talked about pride and defending our home turf and getting ready for a big week next week. Hopefully this game will be a springboard to next week.
gives goes guys happen hard nice respond surprised time trouble
It was kind of nice to see (Jake) get in a little trouble early. He had guys on base, but I wanted to see how he'd respond to that because he hasn't had that happen to him. But he's a bulldog. He goes out there, gives you everything he's got every time and he's a hard guy to take out of the game. I was surprised that I had to go get him, but he was out of gas.
afraid balls couple early games kick ourselves pride
We're not afraid to kick a couple of balls around early in games and get ourselves in a hole. We take so much pride in our defense, but for some reason, we're snake-bitten when we play at home.
anywhere half high week
We had an inning like that a week and a half ago and you just can't do that in high school. You can't do it anywhere really.
add early importance kids preach relying runs scoring
We preach to our kids about the importance of scoring early and relying on our pitching. We were able to do that today, but we didn't add runs like I would have liked.
ahead ball breaking count early fastball hitters seeing throw work
We work on that a lot, especially early on, being able to throw your breaking ball early in the count and get ahead of the hitters without them seeing his fastball first.
add came couple early hold hoping opponents opposition philosophy pressure puts score short zero
Our philosophy is to score in the first inning and then hold our opponents for zero in the first inning and we've done that. We did that a couple of (games) ago and came out on the short end so I really want us to get up early in the game. That puts the pressure on the opposition and we've done that, but we didn't add on like I was hoping we would.
ball good heady
They're good heady players. You can put them in a lot of different places. They responded well to varsity ball over the summer.
best came fantastic gave great hitters jeff job meat nick order pop
Jeff Holm did a great job. We really don't know what we're going to get from him (sometimes), but he came in (this game) and just did a fantastic job. With the meat of their order up and getting Nick Herrera, one of the best hitters in the area, to pop out was great. That gave us momentum.
