advanced age beyond hits people spiral sudden terms
He's advanced beyond his age in terms of his coolness and composure. He'll give up hits and people will score, but he just doesn't all of a sudden spiral into a mess.
bit certain five heck kid might normally six
He just does a little bit of everything for us. A kid like him, even if he might not normally do anything in a certain event, he'll still give it a heck of a try. He's the kind of kid that you'd like to have five or six of.

He (Tate) made plays. He got two big baskets for us when we needed it the most.

We had three freshman play as well as they could have. The 3-point shot is such a momentum changer. We just couldn't get one to fall for us.

We were light at the plate last year, there's no doubt about it. I really think we need to have seven .300 hitters (in 2006).

The thing that creates the sleepless nights is concern over injuries.

Practice has been good and our preparation has been outstanding. We have had three pretty good practices. The guys are excited and realize what is at stake.
eyes good pitch rattled stuff throws
The one thing that he has done is pitch consistently. It's not overpowering, knock-your-eyes-out kind of stuff, but it's good stuff and he throws strikes. He doesn't get rattled or become afraid, you kind of know what you're getting.
