blowing line mph plate seen wind
That was a big day at the plate for us. The wind was blowing about 35 mph but we had a lot of line drives. I've never seen anything like it.
confidence fight guys pitch three
If these guys have three outs, they have enough confidence to come back. They never give up at the plate. They fight on every pitch and that was big for us today.
bases eighth hat job keeping loaded shut tip
Cuthbertson did an outstanding job as a closer. In the eighth inning they had the bases loaded and he shut them down. We tip our hat to him for keeping us in the game.
expect pressure score team
That's the kind of team that we are and that's what we expect from our guys. We didn't score much more after that and we have to keep that same pressure on a team and not let up. In a 10-6 game, anything can happen.
continuing game guys running step
We wanted the guys to come out and respond. We didn't have any (batting practice) before the game because we were running late, but we still had the guys step up. They're just continuing to do the things they do well.
hitting played runs
We scored 53 runs and only played 12 innings. Hitting was real contagious.
caliber four playing sitting wins
To get four wins over there was big. We're sitting pretty well in conference. We just need to keep playing the same caliber of ball.
against bats cold finally good innings job late seventh sixth waking
We were asleep. Our bats were cold but (Fischer) did a good job against us. We finally started waking up in the sixth and seventh innings but it was way too late in a seven-inning game.
