control four good innings late three
Of those four runs, I think three were walks. Basically, we didn't have good control in the late innings and that's why we had the merry-go-round on the mound.
advantage ball driving good guys job pitcher took zone
I think it showed their pitcher was going to be around the zone and our guys took advantage of that. Nate just did a good job driving it out of the ball park.

I thought the other team did a good job executing with runners in scoring position. They scored a lot of their runs with two outs and we didn't.
ballgame nine win
You can't win a ballgame averaging nine strikeouts in the lineup and that's about what we had.
analyze ball behind defense game good last needs offense pitching rotation runs seven six solid trying
You can analyze or over-analyze the statistics. We're averaging like six or seven runs a ball game and we feel our offense is kind of where it needs to be. Defensively, we've had a good rotation the last 10 games, so I look for a solid defense behind them. We're trying to put the pitching together.
outside physically ready spent time year
We've spent a lot of time outside this year but we didn't show it tonight. We just weren't ready to play physically or mentally.
