ball bit blew couple early few game good score sharp threw win
It was good to get a win because we blew a couple of opportunities to score runs. Early in the game, we threw the ball around a little bit on a few plays. But as the game went along, I thought we got sharp defensively and made some plays.
beat execute matter win
I think when we execute the way we did (Friday), we can beat anyone. It doesn't matter who. You've got to execute to win games.
against everybody full game glad played sure test tried
Everybody was there. I was so glad to see them all. I wasn't sure how we'd do against them at full strength. They played man-to-man most of the game and tried to test our conditioning.
job
He was a little rusty, but he got the job done and made some plays.
defense felt good played test
I felt like we played good defense out there. We just have to take this and make us better. I thought this would be a good test for us and it was.
good hit
He was doing a good job. We never really hit it real good all day.
ball consistent few happened hitting runs score scoring seems southern wait
Seems to be the way we play lately. Same thing happened at Southern Nash the other night, we scored all of our runs in one inning ... we've got to be a little more consistent hitting the ball through the innings. Not just hit and wait for one big inning. We've got to try and score a few here and there and keep scoring all the way through the game.
