ball bat ended happen main pitcher pull shoulder sit striking thinking wait
It was a new pitcher and I was just thinking sit back and wait for your pitch. Especially with a lefty, I wanted to keep my shoulder in. I didn't want to pull that out and just put the ball in play. That's my main thing when I'm up to bat just put the ball in play and make something happen. Nothing's going to happen striking out. I ended up getting hit.
busting desire fighting lack last sure until
I think so. Especially with this team. We're a young team, but we sure don't lack desire and heart. Everybody's hungry. Everybody's fighting for a spot. So that has a lot to do with it. Everyone busting it until the very last out.

I had a few fans here. I appreciate it too. Having fans is huge. It was a big pick-me-up for me and I'm sure a lot of other guys, just knowing that we came all this way and there are Morningside fans behind the backstop. That was great.

You can't beat playing at home. I've always thought that. Even home games in high school in summer, I love it. Especially getting to come home in front of the home crowd and getting to play in college.
