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.
ahead behind defense fortunate game hit phenomenal pitchers pitches played typical
Jake did a phenomenal job. Got ahead of hitters, made them hit his pitches and our defense played very well behind him ? typical early-season game where pitchers are dominant. We were very fortunate to get this win.
oregon pitch third
Greg is a move-in from Oregon who can pitch and play third base. Plus, he's a left-handed hitter.
ahead behind defense gets hit pitches plays
He gets ahead of hitters, makes them hit his pitches and our defense plays very well behind him.
count defense guys pitch ran toughest
(Beck's) one of the toughest guys in the conference. We ran up his pitch count to over 100 and had some opportunities, but our defense let us down.
advantage blowing feeling funny pitchers taken wind
I just had a funny feeling with the wind blowing in, with the two pitchers on the mound, that that could have been our one and only opportunity. It wasn't our only, but it was one that we should have taken advantage of.
count early great kenny knew pitch season
I knew Kenny had a no-hitter, but his pitch count was getting up there. He was doing a great job, but it's early in the season and I didn't want to keep him in there too long.
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.
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.
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.
