ball base daniel defense good hit played pleased productive runners solid threw timely
Daniel threw the ball well and had a good effort. I was also real pleased with the way we hit the ball. We had a lot of timely hits. We were a lot more productive with runners on base and we played solid defense and made plays.
beat daniel good looking state tournament
Daniel has a very good arm. You are looking at someone that got beat 3-2 in the state tournament by the state champion.
daniel daring field home people third
We are just daring people to try and go to third and home on Daniel. We need to have Daniel on the field at all times.
They are all big. We just have to play with what we have and see what happens.
fourth next point week
There's still next week to go. That's what it amounts to at this point for the fourth place.
ahead except farther field outside since
We feel like we are farther ahead defensively than we ever have been. We have been outside every day except for two since January. With that comes a lot of field experience.
options
We have a lot of options in the infield.
best defensive himself hitter players starting worked
I thought Neely would be the designated hitter but he has worked himself into a starting position. Neely is one of our best defensive players in the infield.
ball good hall hit hits lee needed outside
I thought Lee Hall hit the ball well. But outside of that, we were just here and there. We couldn't get good hits when we needed them.
ball hitting together
We were hitting the ball and making contact, but we just weren't able to put anything together after that. There's not much else to say about that.
close hit kept low somebody
(Burks) kept it low and made us hit it on the ground. During the game, we just didn't come through. That's what you have to do in close games. You are not going to have a lot of opportunities and those that you do have, somebody has got to come through.
bottom close hit productive runners stepping
We're not being productive with runners on base. That's the bottom line. When we get runners on base, no one is stepping up and making the big hit for us. That's what you've got to do in close games.
opportunity pitchers possible
We want to give as many pitchers as possible the opportunity to pitch.
determine games order state stretch sweep time tournament
There comes a time when you need to sweep (doubleheaders) in order to get into the state tournament. This stretch of games will probably determine if we go to the state tournament or not.
