hard hits scoring time
We didn't get a lot of hits and didn't get a lot of scoring opportunities. When we did get runners, we had a hard time scoring them.
ball crucial errors hit
We had crucial errors and we mishandled the ball and they just hit the ball better than we did.
few five hits second together tough
We had a tough second inning. They got a few hits and bunched them together for five runs.
bottom few hits
We got a few hits from the bottom of the order, which is encouraging.
hard hit needed pitching pleased time
We had a hard time getting the big hit when we needed it. Overall, I was very pleased with our pitching and our defense.
ball hit
We had some chances. We didn't hit the ball particularly well.
easy free hit lead miss point shot three
Miranda hit the three free throws, and they go down and miss an easy shot to end the half. That was a pretty big swing. An eight-point lead at that point in the game, with the way things were going, was pretty nice.
bad corner difference forced four good hit hurt last missed open percent played shoot shot shots stepped three top wayne whenever wide win
They played pretty good defense. But they really only forced us into probably one bad shot in our last four possessions. We just had some open shots that wouldn't fall. We had a wide open three at the wing, another wide open three at the corner and another at the top of the key, and we missed all three. That was one of the big things that hurt us, was our perimeter shooting. Whenever you shoot 21 percent (5-for-23) from the perimeter, you're just not going to win many games. Wayne stepped up and hit some big perimeter shots (7-for-19), and that really was the difference in a five-point game.
adam continued fuels good hits hitters last passion power top trend
Adam was one of our top hitters last year, and he has continued that trend this year. He not only hits for a good average, but for power as well. He has a real passion for the game, and that fuels his fire.
hits innings nine three win
I was disappointed in our hitting. When you only have three hits in nine innings you are not going to win too many games.
bats beat close games gave guys league played position swinging wayne
I thought we played really well all day long. To play them as close as we did in two games gave us some confidence. Wayne is 19-1 in the league and we were right in position to beat them twice. We had some guys swinging the bats well.
certainly
It certainly didn't feel like a 10-point win, I can say that.
defend inside outside
You just can't defend inside and outside at the same time.
caught easy executing flashes game good great job offense overhead physical plan switching
Winona's a physical team. But I thought we had a good game plan going in. They like to do a lot of switching and we caught them a lot on flashes going to the basket. We scored some easy baskets on overhead lobs, and we did a great job of executing our offense the way we wanted to.
