bases defense good plate run trade
(Cody) didn't run the bases really well, but we we'll take what he did at the plate and what he did on defense any day. That was a good trade off.
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.
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.
early gave last proved runs three
We had some things going early but couldn't capitalize. Those last three runs proved really important because it really gave us some distance.
batter hard hits runners spread time
We really didn't do much at the plate. Our hits were spread out and nothing together. Alma had runners aboard every inning. We had a hard time getting that first batter out.
gave run
The only run he (Kirby) gave up was unearned. Kirby did well.
runners tweak
We may tweak things a little bit. When we get runners on base, we have to get them around to score. We will do what ever it takes.
opportunity pitchers possible
We want to give as many pitchers as possible the opportunity to pitch.
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.
fourth next point week
There's still next week to go. That's what it amounts to at this point for the fourth place.
They are all big. We just have to play with what we have and see what happens.
confident days four looked pitchers
Some days this spring, our two through four pitchers have looked great. But other days, our two through fours haven't looked that great. But I'm confident in their abilities.
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.
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.
