beat defend happy kids played tournament win won
We're happy to win the tournament and happy to defend the title. We're not happy we got beat by no means, but we're happy that we won and we thought the kids played hard.
base behind both came couple defensive good jam jeremy led plays pleased runners threw
Jeremy came in there at the end and threw pretty well in my book. He got in a little jam at the end, but got out of it. We didn't have a couple good defensive plays behind him that led to getting a couple base runners on. All-in-all I was pleased with both of them.
built count finish needs pitch stamina stayed wants
But we also had him on a pitch count and he stayed right around where we wanted him and he said he wanted to finish it. I'm not going to take him out if he wants to finish it. He needs to get that stamina built up.
adversity ball below bit brian came composure count hit pitch planning second threw using
I thought Brian threw very well. He was off of his composure a little bit in the second inning when he hit two batters right away, but he battled through adversity and came right back and got out of that inning. He threw the ball well. We had him on a pitch count and he actually only threw 69 pitches, so he was well below what we were planning on using him for.
balls good guys hit played wind
Offensively we played well. We had a lot of guys make good hits. The wind had a little factor, but those balls were hit hard.
base came couple eight extra good guys hits home produced tonight
Offensively we came alive. All our guys produced tonight. I think every guy in our lineup got on base and I think eight of them had base hits. A lot of extra base hits tonight good to see that. A couple home runs, those are good to see.
ball batter foul grand hits next routine
We could have made a routine play on a foul ball and been out of the inning and the next batter up hits a grand slam.
couple five hit plays six
When you give up 14 runs, that's very disappointing. We had five or six errors, a couple hit batters and plays we didn't make.
cost
To me that didn't cost us the game.
coming count eddie felt fourth good hits jeremy order pitch pitcher pull rather strikes third three threw throw tired top walked
We had a pitch count and we felt Eddie was getting a little tired there. I think he walked three batters in the fourth inning. We thought it was a good place to pull him. We had the top of their order coming up for the third time. Jeremy was ready. Eddie threw strikes all day. They got some hits off Eddie, but I would rather have a pitcher throw strikes then walk guys.
