came gave given position run three today
The only run we gave up today came on a hit-and-run. I thought we got out of position too early. We should have made that play. We could have had a shutout today, and that would have given us three for the weekend.
good pitchers score shame turned
This was a shame because I really thought our pitchers did better than the score indicated. Cody did a good job. I don't know. But we'll get it turned around before long.
advantage hopefully learned lesson near nowhere offer
He was nowhere near the glove all day long. He had nothing to offer right-handed hitters. Hopefully he learned a lesson today. I was really disappointed he didn't take advantage of the start.
challenged game guys necessary proud score seven swings telling winning
Through our first seven batters and their first seven batters, the score was the same (0-0), but they (the Lions) were winning the game because they were having better at-bats. After that, I challenged our guys by telling them they had to make better swings on the ball. They made the necessary adjustments, and I'm proud of them for that.
