capitalize situations
We've got to capitalize on those situations when we're in charge. We need to have better at-bats.

We played the way Venice High is supposed to play. Even if we would have lost tonight, I still would have been proud of the way we played.

Our philosophy is to work hard and that's all we know how to do. We played Venice baseball like it's supposed to be played.
ball command hat high moves pitcher pitches polished school three
I take my hat off to Erickson. He's a polished high school pitcher who has command of three pitches and moves the ball in and out. It's impressive.
district face good
When you face good pitching, when you get to the district tournament, it can help.
against coming games good lose losses road three top tough week
We want to be the top seed. Manatee has three losses in the district, but they could lose again. We have a very tough week coming up -- three games on the road all against good teams. If we play well, we'll have a chance.

We started last Friday against Southeast with four district games in a row. We had to win them all to be the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the district. The guys really hit the ball well (Tuesday night) and backed up our pitching.
road seed three tough win
We've got a really tough road but if we win those three I think we can get the No. 1 seed in the district.
team
We'll see what kind of team we have.
baseman hard hit second stay strikes time trying
We've been trying to get him to stay back and get him to go the other way with two strikes and (Tuesday night) he did it twice. Once the second baseman (caught) it when he hit it hard and the other time he got a hit.
definitely hurt injuries lucas means night people percent third
This was the first night I thought Lucas was 100 percent back. Having Wean back at third means we don't have people out of position. Injuries have definitely hurt us this season.
cook flat whatever winner
Cook is flat out a winner at whatever he does.
errors four game tough
It's tough to let a game get away like this. You can't have four errors. Errors always come back to get you.
anytime ball breaking call good plate three
Struble has a good breaking ball and good change-up. You can call it anytime and he is always around the plate with his three pitches.
