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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
best several tempo
It was the best first inning in several games. That set the tempo for sure. That was big to get that big of a lead.
came until
It was a nail-bitter until he (Golden) came in.
