advantage coming early game good last several win
That was a big win. Last time, we had several opportunities to put the game away early and didn't take advantage of them. Coming back the way we did was a good win for us.
adjustment ball driving foot front gets good great guy hitting maturing nice piece pitch quality sign staying waits
That was a really nice piece of hitting by John. He's not a guy who waits on a pitch really well. He kind of gets out on his front foot a little. He made a great adjustment staying back and driving that ball to right field. It's a good sign he's maturing into a quality hitter.
beat bottom earlier excited seventh win
It was a big win for us. They beat us in the bottom of the seventh earlier this season, and we were excited to play them again.
fastball good hitting job keeping nice pitches settled throw
Once he settled in, he really did a nice job keeping Taft off balance. They're a really good fastball hitting club, and Marcus was able to throw his off-speed pitches for strikes.
fastball four guys hard hit innings key lay pitchers sit stuff throw throwing tried
They've got some guys who throw pretty hard. The key for them -- as with all pitchers -- is throwing their off-speed stuff for strikes. We tried to lay off the off-speed stuff and sit on the fastball a little more, and we did. Overall, we hit the ball hard. We hit the ball hard the first four innings but just right at people.
everybody great level obviously raise
They've obviously been great for our program. They're not only great athletes, but they raise everybody else's level of play. They're also great kids.
ball bit certain coming focus hitting slow
We're coming on after a little bit of a slow start. We're hitting the ball hard. We're doing more situational hitting in practice, working on hitting in certain counts. Overall, it's just more of a focus up at the plate.
